Ombre Dyeing: Brush-On Technique

A #DIY video exploring the brush-on technique for #Ombre #Dyeing. I offer some tips and tricks while documenting my first attempt at #ombredyeing with a brush. I also discuss the pros and cons of #dipdyeing vs brush-on dyeing for the ombre effect. This is not an ad for any of the products listed below. I just enjoy the following products and all views are my honest opinions.

Oh man, I gotta dye something now! You're like a ray of sunshine 🌞 glad to find your channel

[@GeriInStitches]

Awww, thanks so very much! Thanks for spending time on my channel!

[@debrariley2057]

Mistakes are the most important parts of any learning. We have all made them some more recoverable than others. I enjoy your videos so much, so thank you for taking the time to do them.

[@GeriInStitches]

So so true! Thanks so much for your feedback and your support!

[@AsiaAlexander]

Thank you for posting this. I’m testing this technique on several yards of fabric😅. This video gives me a confidence boost!

[@avey4422]

The wire rack is a great idea! Thank you for making some mistakes so we can learn too!!! 💖

[@MichelleSewsAgain]

I love how the tank came out! And you learned some great things from your mistakes. You have a great attitude about it!

[@GeriInStitches]

Thanks so much, Michelle! I hear that you gave me a generous shout out on your channel. Many many thanks!

[@MichelleSewsAgain]

@@GeriInStitches you inspired me to try tie dyeing and I made a garment that came out great! I love your channel and your IG feed💕

[@tinachester3716]

I want to try this so learning from your projects is just what I needed. Thank You

[@GeriInStitches]

Hi Tina, Thanks so so much. It's so great to hear that you are pumped to try this

[@juliepeacock1846]

It’s great to be able to share in and relate to your learning experience, Geri 😁 It is actually very helpful and inspiring to see you relax & enjoy having a go, regardless of the outcome. It’s much easier to be visually forewarned of potential pitfalls too 😄 Thankyou so much! I’m with you, I adore your tank!! 💫🌟 And your gorgeous dress!! 🌸🌼

[@GeriInStitches]

Hi Julie, these words of encouragement mean a lot to me, so I thank you from the depths of my heart. Thanks for being here, and thanks for being with me.

[@juliepeacock1846]

@@GeriInStitches You’re more than welcome Geri! That’s how I feel… Thanks for being here, and for being with me 😊🌸 And you encourage me 🤗

[@ccat2840]

Just wanted to add a helpful tip: if you don’t have a wire rack, you can use either a baker’s cooling rack or I have even used an oven rack that I cleaned before use. Hope this helps!!! And your tank came out sooo cute!,

[@GeriInStitches]

That’s a great tip! Thanks for your comment!

[@alcasaja]

I was so inspired with your video, that I dyed a random with longsleeve with the stencil-fabric-colour (the only one I had at hand 😅) BEFORE even looking at your second project 🤣 So great-Thank you

[@sas534]

I have a dress that has white lace attached to it. Im wondering how to dye the base fabric without dyeing the lace. Still hasn’t figured it out, but your brush on technique seems to be the better solution out of other things I’ve seen online

[@cscarberryrn]

Very nice, love the dip dying, thanks for video!

[@GeriInStitches]

Thanks so so much!

[@charmainegadney8420]

Awesome 😀

[@orls9068]

Would you dye it neon yellow first and then after a few days add the other colours? Dunno if that would work just an idea, love the video. You're lovely, subbed looking forward to seeing more!❤️🇮🇪

[@anabarrios1353]

😅 you are 🎉
