I love the ombre effect. It’s on everything these days, clothes, decor and even hair. It’s such a beautiful look and super easy to do yourself. You can update the style of any white thrift store shirt quickly and easily by just using some regular colored dye.
You’ll need a plastic tub, rubber gloves, salt, dye, a wooden stir stick, and a white shirt. Cotton shirts work best for this kind of project. You can use shirts made from other fibers, but the colors will be different.

Nice dye job, Beth. Another easy to understand tutorial as well. I want to try this soon 🙂 I have pinned and commented, please enter me in the drawing. Thanks.
Consider it done, Mother Deer! Thank you for being SEW supportive! 🙂
Just love the ombré dyed shirt. I tried ice dyeing with a friend a few weeks ago…….so easy & loads of fun. You’ve just given me another idea.
Would love to come to your book launch party but sorry, can’t as I will be out of town.
I’ve never heard of ice dyeing. I’m so curious. How do you do it?
i’m new to your blog, but am so excited to see everything you do! Loved the sweater redo. Thanks for posting and am looking forward to trying many of the projects.
Welcome to The Renegade Seamstress, Kathi! I hope you have as much fun with these projects as I do. Please let me know if you have any questions about anything. I’d love to help. Have a wonderful week.
what a difference!
Thank you, Marilyn.
I have been admiring the ombre’ trend all summer. I thought I could manage doing a DIY but now feel more confident thanks to you. Your tutorials are exceptional, clearly and beautifully photographed. Thanks!
Awwwwww…..thank you so much, Julie! Your comment made my day!
As always I love your posts and I just started following you on Instragram……that counts as 2 right? Keep up the great work, you are such an inspiration!
Yep, definitely counts as two! 🙂 Thanks for being so supportive!!!
always fun to see what you are up to!
Thank you, Kathy!
Your shirt looks Great! Purple is my favorite color and this gradient is just perfect
Thank you, Ann! I love this color, too. 🙂
What a great look, I have some lace I want to try this on
Oh, this would be so pretty on lace, Dagmar!
I have some shirts that have a few stains on them. I wonder if this would help cover them up? Thanks for the tutorial!
Good idea! Thanks ♥
Pinned as Nefene!
Lovely colour!!
O.K., color me slow but although I know how to comment, I’m not sure about the pinning? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Between you and me…. my daughter and I would both love your book. Hmmm Christmas is coming, but would sure love to win at least one. Thanks for the chance.
I would like to try this too – your results are stunning! I pinned it to my refashions board.
