Bit of dyeing fun

When we found out I was pregnant we bought a load of white sleepsuits.  Partly because they were a load cheaper than patterned ones and partly because I planned to dye them.  Then Rosemary turned up early.

Now I get some time between feeds I have started to dye them.

Plain suit for reference:

Attempted "bullseye" style (needs to be a bigger item)

Scrunched up, randomly banded, and soaked in dye:

Rolled top to bottom then dyed magenta with blue and blue with magenta:

Rainbow!

I didn't quite make the dyes strong enough so this batch came out a little pastel.  The second batch on the line is most definitely stronger.
