I love everything about this image. The bell bottoms, the retro colours, the excessive rainbows, the confetti, the sesame street of it all!

Taken last December 2024 during our trek.

Double rainbow - Colorado - after a wedding ceremony

Glad I decided to look out my back door. One of the brightest rainbows I’ve seen in years! 🌈🌈

I work in a preschool classroom and for the last week of school we did spirit week, the last day being favorite color/tie dye day, which was announced about 3 weeks ahead of time. The weekend after I was out with a coworker who suggested I crochet and tie-dye a skirt, but I didn't want to deal with the waistband and everything (if anyone has suggestions on easy ways for skirts, feel free to let me know!), so I immediately said there's no way I'll have time. The next day I had bought all 15 skeins of white cotton our local Michaels had in stock (and another 12 halfway through), and a couple of the Procion MX Large tie-dye kits.

This is a full circle skirt done in DC, there was some gapping under the arms so the last night before spirit week I managed to pull it in by folding and stitching and the spin on this is just perfection I could not be happier. Just had to share!

EDIT:

First I want to thank everyone for all of the upvotes and positive comments! It's been amazing to read all of them and connect with the community 🥰🧶

Also, for anyone looking to do a similar project (which I LOVE the idea of and can't wait to see!) I want to share a couple sizing details given the use of not preshrunk cotton.

I sized up about 20%. I did still then have to pull in the bodice and shorten the straps by folding them under and sewing them, but I think that's what I'd do in the future to ensure a good fit.

I also sized up my hook. The yarn I used calls for a 5.0 and I tend to crochet very tightly, and didn't want to lose the drape and stitch definition after shrinking, so I used a 6.0 just to ensure that I wouldn't get extremely dense fabric. If you crochet loosely, it likely wouldn't be an issue, but it's certainly something to keep in mind.

Again thank you all and I can't wait to see more crochet tie-dye in the future!
