Tie-Dye Sunday (9 June 2013)

Every year at All Souls, the Sunday before Father’s Day is Tie-Dye Sunday!  This is a fun way to make special gifts for Dads and other special grown-ups in the lives of our children.

TieDye

Children and youth need to bring a 100% cotton t-shirt or other fabric item (pre-washed is better).  You may bring more than one item to dye but we will need to make sure that all supplies are shared adequately.  Adults and older youth who “know the drill” will be there to walk the children through the process.

Although we do have old t-shirts available as cover-ups, we heartily recommend dressing your children in old clothes and shoes for this project.  The dyes we use are strong and permanent.
