We had a cracking time at summer experimenting with being more sustainable and saving money by dyeing pre-loved clothes.
It was like having a new wardrobe for a lot less money and it felt great to prolong the clothes’ life cycle.
With learning, there always comes mistakes, but we made a super comprehensive guide of everything we learned, so you don’t have to make (m)any.
At Little Miss Drop Stitch, we know everyone learns differently, so we have produced five longform YouTube videos, two comprehensive blog posts and some YouTube/TikTok shorts as well.
If you’d prefer to learn visually, or just absorb our wisdom in the background, here are the YouTube videos.

Our first blog post – Dyeing to Recycle I – covers the technicalities and science of dyeing, in addition to the pros and cons of dyeing methods and dye brands.
Our second blog post – Dyeing to Recycle II – shares our experiments and if we would do anything differently next time. We have experimented with lots of different fabric types and had both successes and flops along the way.
Well, that’s all folks. We hope these resources are helpful and do share with us the outcome of your upcycling .
