Salvaged - mostly...

After soaking and rinsing, soaking and rinsing, I finally threw the onesies with the running dye in the washer with a load of towels and washed them. Most of the dye came out. There is still traces of a 'halo' around the teddy bear, but it is not too noticeable.

I also threw these two in with them. They had not been rinsed, but I figured I would have the same result so I might as well add them, too.


These are tiny onesies for a tiny boy, born a little earlier than we would like. They fit 5 pound babies, so I reduced the size of the transfers and they are too, too, cutie-wootie! (The others are size 12 month - for 18 to 24 pound babies)


Look at that precious pup! He is about the size of a penny!
I simplified the horse a bit, since the scale was much smaller.

The horse came out of the wash looking good, but the puppy had major dye run. So, it is soaking again!

I may have to re-think my habit of buying floss at estate sales and thrift stores, unless I find skeins that are labeled. The only problems that I have ever had, before now, was some floss that broke easily and I threw it away. I guess I can't make that claim, anymore!

Bummer on the puppy, he's so cute! I agree, time to re-think the thrifted floss. That's too much work to have to deal with that headache! I'm glad most of it came out for you.

I really like the little designs. They are just the right size for onesies. (Did we ahve "onesies" for our babies???) Love, WS

I'm so glad the dye came out -- they look wonderful and they're going to be so darling on those little babies.
