Khaki to Blue Pants

I've had a pair of pants for an embarrassingly long time. There were light khaki and stretchy, therefore, they looked like I was wearing nothing. So since this trend of colored jeans is in I thought I would dye them. I wasn't sure it would work since they didn't start out white.

It worked quite well! I like the color they turned out although I feel it has faded a lot after washing them a couple times and although I followed all the instructions they bled on the first load I washed them with after washing them alone. After dyeing them the only thing that didn't dye was the zipper but no one sees that but me.

I used Aquamarine Rit Clothing Dye and followed the instructions on the bottle.

A few words of advice: make sure your gloves don't have a hole in them. Make sure all of your supplies are gathered before you start, and put on some music while you stir for 20+ minutes.

What do you think?

So dyeing khakis does work.

Remember when Jaime dyed her pants red?

Do you have something to dye?
