I was going to make Olivia an easter dress. I put it together in a couple of hours, and somehow, along the way, it got stained. It was a sort of orangy rust -type stain. And, I’m one of those ridiculous people who iron as I go, so before I knew it, the stain was set in.
But, wait! It gets better! I tried numerous stain removal tactics, to no avail, and then decided the only way to salvage this otherwise perfectly adorable item was to tea-dye it.
Well, I don’t have to worry about that stain anymore.
I got stuff all ready to tea-dye the dress, laid it on a cookie sheet alongside the dish it’d be dunked in. Then I set the kettle up, turned the burner on high, and then wandered away waiting for the kettle to whistle. I saw steam in the kitchen, huge puffs of steam, but no whistling.
I turned the wrong burner on. The dress burned up.
