Kenna's Dyed Knits

(Psssttttt.....Activity Three Photos are due today.)

Sup. So we asked y'alls which order you wanted for our new "Doll of the Week" program - and the #1 choice was "McKenna," i.e. Kenna.

Kenna appears on the blog today wearing an Ebay dress (Sophia's Collection, we believe), as well as the leggings from her School Outfit. McKenna's rain boots also make a cameo appearance.

Then she added on an AG knit sweater and hat set. This was a store exclusive Purchase with Purchase a couple years back - and it comes as a light pinkish ivory sweater coat and a hot pink hat. We weren't really happy with those colors, so we bought navy fabric dye and tried it out.

Now we aren't fabric-dyers really - so it was all guesswork. And we came out with a dark purple hat and a gray sweater, haha. Still - they aren't pink!

Here is Kenna modeling for us!











Thanks for visiting!

Remember: Activity Three Photos are due today!

I, Emmie, am in L-O-V-E with Kenna's outfit! We have that PFP Set as well and aren't really fans of the coloring(With the exception of Jocelyn, the queen of pink) We'll most likely have to try this! Can you give us a heads up on what brand of dye to look for?

We used Rit fabric dye. Their website has a lot of info about dyeing: http://www.ritdye.com/

We didn't really do a super-great job of dyeing our pieces - so we definitely recommend using their tips and perhaps doing it on the stovetop.

Also we recommend rinsing out and washing the dyed items several times before putting them on your doll. You don't want the dye to transfer onto their vinyl. So it is best to avoid leaving these pieces of clothing on your doll for a long time.

I love the grey color of the sweater! I don't think I'd be brave enough to dye a clothing item (and I like the original color of the sweater anyway!), but it looks great.

I wish AG would release another sweater coat, as part of a JLY outfit or something.
