Good suggestions, but really wear whatever you want to. Life is too short to conform to what you think others want you to look like. Dress to please yourself. Wear what you love.

DIY Natural Fabric Dyes Chart and How To Dye Fabric

Updated 2019

The yellow powder is turmeric and the bottom purple leaves are lavender. These are the results that she got using 100% natural fabric liked undyed silk. For a how-to on dyeing natural fabrics go to the link (and also read the comments). 

Step-by-Step How to Dye Fabric. Blog no longer exists except on the WayBack Machine:

Pre-wash and pre-soak your fabric.  It is best to use 100% natural fabrics that are undyed.  I have recently fallen in love with China silk habotai because it’s elegant and billowy without the price pitfall of crepe de chine.

Chop up your food source into little tiny bits (but not so tiny that they can’t be strained out).  For onions and plums, use only the skins

Prepare the water base in a large pot: add the water in a 2:1 ratio of water to food source (so if you have 2 cups of chopped bits, add 4 cups of water)

Boil the mixture for approximately an hour

Strain out food source and return liquid dye to pot

Add salt or vinegar, depending on the food source, to the water and mix.  For fruits and vegetables, add ½ cup of salt to every 8 cups of water.  For plant material, add 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water).  Salt and vinegar act as fixatives for the dye.

Add your pre-soaked fabric to the dye, stirring thoroughly, and bring up to a boil

Depending on how dark you would like the dyed fabric to be, boil your fabric in the dye for any length of time up to about an hour and a half.  At that point, your dye is probably exhausted.

Hand wash your fabric in cold water and organic detergent at least twice to ensure that all of the dye and fixative are out of the fabric, rinse, and hang dry or lay flat.

Voila!  You now have gorgeous, naturally dyed fabric to sew into sensational garments.

**if you would like a lighter color, either add less fixative (vinegar or salt) or boil for less time – or a little of both!  You can also add some salt/vinegar to the pre-soak water, but I haven’t really seen a difference with doing so.

How to Recycle Old Clothes

3 ways to clean out your closet

If you open up your closet every season wondering why you’ve kept so many clothes that you don’t even wear anymore, listen up! There are many organizations and programs you can participate in to recycle and donate old clothes instead of tossing them in the trash. Here are our top suggestions:

1. Recycle Clothes at H&M

Donate your old clothes at participating H&M locations and they’ll take care of recycling the fabric. H&M has teamed up with DoSomething.org for their Comeback Clothes program as part of an initiative to help keep clothes out of landfills. 

2. Donate to Charity

Check out your local schools, charities, and Goodwill and Salvation Army stores to see if they’ll accept clothing donations. Your old clothes will end up in good hands!

3. Resell 

If you’ve got vintage or designer items lying around that you don’t wear anymore, try reselling them through a number of different channels.

Fashion Apps: Download apps like Pose, ThredUp, Twice and The RealReal 

eBay: Create your own listing for each item that you want to sell

Consignment Store: Search for a local consignment store in your city where they’ll take care of the reselling for you (be forewarned they’ll also take a cut of your earnings)

Once you sell and make back some of your hard-earned dollars, head over to Wantering to search for what’s on sale!
