bafleyanneIf you're interested in getting something tie-dyed by me, please read this. :)
I am making an order from Dharma Trading tomorrow. If you would like me to tie-dye something for you in the next couple of weeks, I need to order the clothing blanks in this order (unless you're planning on sending me clothing, of course). I can order any piece of clothing that Dharma has in stock. Unless you pick a specific item for me, I will probably default to the Hanes Beefy-T as the "T-shirt" selection. These don't have cotton stitching, so the white thread shows up, but I think they look nice anyway. You can see an example of how this looks on this shirt, one of the toddler shirts I made. (That's also a good representation of the rainbow swirl dye technique.) The white stitching is just barely visible around the sleeves and hem.
For custom orders, I am going to ask that you send me (Paypal works best, if you don't have that we'll figure something out) money for the clothing you want dyed at the time I place the order, and we'll work out how much I'm charging for the dye job and shipping afterward. Most of the clothing blanks are very reasonably priced, and I have a quantity discount *already* going on cotton items, so when you're looking at the price, look in the 12-35 items column.
I already have (or was planning to order anyway) the following dye colors from this page: fuchsia red, lemon yellow, turquoise (the three needed to make a rainbow dyed item), cerulean blue, robins-egg blue, ice blue, seafoam green, forest green, teal blue, orchid, and deep purple. If you would like another dye color I can do that, but it's an additional charge if I have to special order it. :) I can do a variety of dye techniques, including swirl, sunburst, and some free-hand painting, and I'm trying my hand at low-water immersion dyeing tonight for single color items so I'll be able to do that as well.
I will offer first class mail shipping (about $1.50 for a shirt or similar sized item, at cost for heavier items) or priority mail shipping ($3.85), whichever you prefer.
So what I need to know from you, if you do want an item soon, is what clothing blank(s) you want me to order for you (a direct link to the Dharma page is most helpful!) and in what size, and whether the dyes I have will suit your needs. (Let me know the color if you can, just in case I might need more of some color.) We'll figure everything else out after I place the order. :)
If you're not comfortable posting this info, you can email it to me at bafoster(at)mindspring(dot)com. :)
Thanks!
