Hi everyone! I realized, after many of the questions, that some of the instructions were a little confusing. I have more detailed instructions on the blog post: www.farmhouseonboone.com/farmhouse-on-boone/how-to-dye-and-sew-drop-cloth-curtains/ Hope that helps!

@wandaarganbright4056 5 лет назад

I like to find flat king size sheets that have a wonderful pattern or a great solid color. At the top of the sheet I just run an extra seam. It leaves it with a small ruffle at the top when threaded on a curtain rod. My windows are 80" long and king size sheets work great for the right length! I also buy a set of matching pillow cases to make throw pillow covers and tie backs for the curtains. Because the sheets are often on sale I am able to change my look cheaper and faster than buying yardage at a fabric store. But, I have to admit, having a daughter who works for Joann's is a bonus!

@FarmhouseonBoone 5 лет назад

That's a great option for some cheap yardage!

@kimboeskeim397 5 лет назад

How would you dye with a front loader washer? You cannot add hot water prior To starting it... HELP! 😬😉

@Jessa8891 5 лет назад

You pour into into the detergent dispenser. They have all the information on ritdye.com

@EmmaAppleBerry 5 лет назад

Do you do anything after youre done dying them in the washing machine? Like an empty rinse cycle or add detergent and do a full cycle to make sure their isnt any residue or is it not an issue? Do you think different water would have different effects yours looks very clear and soft we have hard water here (limescale etc) or bore water which is hot springs water so i was just wondering if you think that might effect the process at all?

@FarmhouseonBoone 5 лет назад

I didn't do anything special to clean out the washer, and it doesn't seem to have affected anything. We've done plenty of loads since then! I'm not sure about the different types of water.

@raraavis7782 5 лет назад

EmmaAppleBerry Once the dying process is done, you don’t need to worry about residue in the machine. But I would always wash the items another time right after dying, if it’s clothes...just to be on the safe side with these chemicals. You don’t need to worry about accidentally getting dye on your next load though. As for hard water...the instructions on the dye will tell you, if you need to add extra salt or something like that. Just make sure, to check right when you buy the stuff, so you don’t get caught short!

How did you clean your wash machine with all the dye in it

@lindagunter8339 5 лет назад

Bleach

@FarmhouseonBoone 5 лет назад

I didn't do anything and didn't notice any dye being left in there. The rinse cycle took care of it.

@lindseyheringer2641 5 лет назад

How do you keep dye from ruining future loads?

@lindagunter8339 5 лет назад

You have to bleach the machine with soap in the full cycle.

@FarmhouseonBoone 5 лет назад

I didn't even think about that honestly. We've had several loads since then and I didn't notice any staining.

@nmcclanahan969 5 лет назад

Ha, I’m not sure if you have a Calico Corners in your area ( it’s a fabric/decorating store) but if you do, they’d be green of envy. A project like yours would cost at least $800 with them. Good job, no frills, just something nice and functional.

@FarmhouseonBoone 5 лет назад

I don't, but I have shopped there online. This would have been super pricey! Only $60 for the materials to make these. :)

@dimples7334 5 лет назад

Never dye your stuff in a washing machine! Just get a plastic tub.

@FarmhouseonBoone 5 лет назад

Why is that? I had no issues with it.

@dimples7334 5 лет назад

@nancyparmelee4161 5 лет назад

Plastic tub or stove method is fine for small stuff but you wouldn’t want to deal with all that fabric and stirring constantly and wringing it out would be a nightmare. Washer method comes out with more even color. I also start the washer and add the fabric as it adgitates so there is no blotchyness. I use it all the time and just run a cycle of warm water with some bleach at the end when you are done to make sure all color is out of the washer for when you do your regular laundry.

@TheScarlett 5 лет назад

I have forgotten to ask this - did you update the electrical in this house or was it already updated? I'm asking because we have a 1923 Tudor and it was the first thing we did before we moved in. My biggest fear when I looked at the wiring (which previously had an "octopus" of wires leading to a fuse box) was a fire.

@ginakinard6950 5 лет назад

Looks great! I love using drop cloths for curtains etc. I have trouble with the larger sizes having a strange seam running through them though. Have you experienced that?

@alishagreen4949 2 года назад

Good morning! Great video! I’m going to put these up in my classroom. How have the blue curtains held up to sunlight? Any fading?

@louiselill1528 5 лет назад

They look fantastic . Can I ask why you iron out the floor if I tried that I would have problems getting back up again lol .

@FarmhouseonBoone 5 лет назад

Just because It's a large flat surface to work on.

@jocquaduncan802 3 года назад

Quick question. What would I need to do if I bought curtains from a local thrift store to dye them black, no other colors??

@jenniecochran1616 5 лет назад

Darling 💕. And so doable!!

@barbra429 3 года назад

Where did you get the drip cloth you used in the video? What brand please if anyone knows.

@athomewithshushana 5 лет назад

This is such a great inexpensive way to get full length curtains. I have the older traditional ceiling to floor windows in some of my rooms and its always so expensive to find curtains from ceiling to floor length so this is great to know. I am definitely headed over to Amazon to get those drop cloths. Great video. Tfs

@FarmhouseonBoone 5 лет назад

Yes! That amount of yardage can be SO pricey!!

@chasingmoonlightfarm 5 лет назад

Okay. I tried this and my drop cloth frayed like CRAZY during the dye "wash" cycle...which ironically, my husband told me would happen. Lol!! I bought your suggested canvas from Amazon this time, and will try again. Should I not cut it before dyeing? It is 9x12. Thanks!

@valkyriesardo278 4 года назад

CSS Chicago Canvas & Supply sells dropcloth on Amazon. You can also purchase directly from the CSS website where they offer dropcloth in a variety of colors. They are aware their cloth is popular for curtains and crafting. No matter where you buy, for best dying results check fabric content for 100% cotton. The blue denim look is perfect for a farmhouse mudroom. And even if the dye job is not perfectly even, that only adds charm to a "blue jeans" curtain.

@sarahadams5419 5 лет назад

Can you do this with a front loading washer? Thanks for all the videos!

@horseygirl966 5 лет назад

Yes! 😀

@Klutzy68 2 года назад

This is really helpful! I read somewhere else that Rit wouldn’t work on canvas but obviously yours took the color very well, and I love the shade. What about when you washed them, did you lose much color?

@NT-ev2wl 3 года назад

I love the color and how the drop cloth look in your white room! Did you just dye them right out of the bag? Some people suggest that you breach first to make it soft. Your's look soft enough.

@Roxiemorrow 5 лет назад

Can these be put in the dryer after dying? I know your blog tutorial says to hang dry, but I’d love to just use the dryer. Thanks!!

@learntobloom8912 5 лет назад

I didn’t know about salt! Although it’s been 10+years since I’ve dyed anything. Maybe I’ll get brave and get a sewing machine. My curtains are completely unfinished fabric I’ve doubled up and fold edges in 😂

What room have you claimed for your sewing room? The drop cloth curtains look gr8 Lisa. I bet the dying was a palava.

I don't have one claimed yet, but it will probably be a corner in the living room or dining room.

What does the salt do?

@FarmhouseonBoone 5 лет назад

It's supposed to help the fabric take the dye.

@pennylane36 5 лет назад

Laurie Hamerlynck just like salt helps set the dye, if you buy fabric rich in color or a dress with navy blue and white stripes, you can add vinegar to the wash to set the colors so they won't fade and the blue won't run into the white
