Using Dye to remove "previous hemlines"Q: Dying clothes. My daughter wears uniform skirts to school and I recently had to let the hems out of them to finish the last two months of school. The plaid skirts did not show a "previous hemline". I've heard that the solid navy skirts can be dyed with Rit dye. Now, I have 4 khaki skirts with a lighter khaki ring running 2 inches up from the bottom of each skirt. The skirts are made of 60% cotton/40% polyester. I have not dyed anything since the 60's when we had fun tie-dying our T-shirts. I've searched the net and have a few ideas but am a little squeamish as I don't want to have to purchase new uniforms so close to the end of the school year. Anyone with experience in dying the "previous hemlines" for this type of fabric, your input will be greatly appreciated. -- B Pharless - Reply
