When I was pregnant, I found a really cool pair of maternity pants from Target that I loved! I had never bought colored jeans before and I didn't realize how many different colored tops you could pair it with.
I loved them so much, that I thought I would buy the non-maternity version once I wasn't pregnant anymore. Not so much... I couldn't find any!
So I decided with Della to try to make them
Even though Della found a great color match on the RIT website, I was worried it would be too light, so I bought a plain teal dye to test that out since it looked better on the bottle.
Our little helper!
We used test strips of cotton to see how the color matching was turning out
The website said to use 1 teaspoon aquamarine to 1/8 lemon yellow. We tried to measure it out perfectly...
This was such an absolute blast to do. And it turned out perfectly!
I can't believe that it turned out so close to the actually color! The newly dyed pants are a little more brilliant than the original, but I am sure it will fade a bit with washing
