Why learn how to ReDye your clothes?

We all have that favorite clothing item that got stained or discolored and now it just sits in the back of the closet, longing to be loved again. Start loving your clothes again by giving new life to old styles with ReDye techniques! Learn how to blend in the stain with new colors and patterns so that you can start wearing all those favorite styles again!

Keeping items in use and out of landfill is a key principle of the Circular Economy and being sustainable. ReDye is a great way to give a whole new look to old, boring or basic clothes and bring them back to life.

Type of dye we use:

We use Rit Dye Proline for most of our garment ReDyes. This is because, we've found it offers the best and brightest colors for a wide variety of fiber blends and it meets our minimum standards for sustainability, including non-toxic and sewer/septic/home-use safe. It is also widely available for consumer purchase so is a great dye to learn how to use on your own! Learn more about Rit Dye here.

Additional Fees and Considerations:

One garment or accessory from CFLA is included in your workshop price. You may purchase additional items from CFLA for $10ea onsite.

You may choose to redye items from the clothing swap at no additional cost. You may also bring an item from home to redye at no additional cost.
