Remember those cute little tie-dye heart dresses from last week’s Tulip tie dye post?
I thought the tutorial would be best demonstrated with video. I split it into 3 parts however that way you don’t have to sit through 15 minutes of stuff you don’t need if you’re just looking for one step in particular. You’re busy, I get it.
Part 1 is cutting the dress, Part 2 the dyeing & finally Part 3, the assembly of the dress. This project is easy peasy pumpkin skeezy.
I promise, it’s DEFINITELY a beginner’s sewing project. And who knew tie-dying was so addictive??
Hi, my name’s Natasha & I’m addicted to dyeing everything I can get my hand’s on. That cat’s lucky she’s black.
(I used Tulip easy one step tie dyes, for the last project Tulip sent me the supplies but this time I actually went and bought more myself because I liked them so much. I snagged these Tulip One-Step Tie Dye Kit rainbow shades, LOVE them!)
That’s it! What’d you think of video instead of pictures for directions? I feel like sometimes it’s easier to actually see someone make something live. All though, man, video editing is a pain-in-the-butt! That’s ok, when Martha sees it it’ll be totally worth it.

Awesome! Thanks a ton for doing this! Hubby won’t know what happened to his shirts, but I think he’ll learn to live with it 😛 I’ll be having a whack at this in my very near future! On a side note… Could you BE anymore adorable?!
Natasha
You’re so sweet, thank you. (:
ps- I’m so not that cute at home…especially when you wake me up

Hi! I pinned your videos and am actually going to be tie-dyeing tomorrow and wanted to do something different for my girls. Love this! Thank you for showing us how! I love to tie-dye and love learning something new even more. You did a great job on the tutorials. 🙂
Natasha
Yay! I’m so excited you’re going to do this! Let me know how it turns out, ok? Thanks for pinning the videos too! (:

Great tutorial! I have to try this, but my daughter is not so little anymore, maybe a tank for her. I found your blog because I heard Kane talking about it so I texted the show to get the name of it. I love it! I have a blog myself, but I do mostly crochet. My sewing skills are not up to par.
Natasha
Aw, thank you so much for going to such trouble to find me! I just thanked Kane for taking the time to spread the word too. (:

I was so inspired by your blog this weekend! I made so many things for Ellie! I made a circle skirt, then realized that if I added straps to it, it could be a cute halter top. Then I made a dress based on this blog, then a tu-tu, then an adorable set using your baby yoga pants blog and the circle skirt pattern with straps for a top. I also introduced Ellie to popcorn this weekend, she had lots of fun throwing it everywhere…
I LOVE LITTLE PINK MONSTER!
Natasha
Yay!! That is fantastic!! If you get a sec snap some photos and email them to me (natasha@littlepinkmonsters.com) I LOVE getting to see what you guys make!

I love, love, LOVE this !! I’m actually getting ready to make one for my daughter for 4th of July. We ran out to grab tie-dye colors for 4th of July and just pulled this blog up so I can watch your videos how to make the dress. She’s very excited to help make this! I love all your blogs — yesterday I actually sat and read a lot of them. I am IN LOVE with your families new ” Tree-house” , can I say …. GORGEOUS !!!! Then, I got pulled into the blogs regarding your health. I myself have the same issues, for a minute I felt like I was reading something that I wrote about myself, it was unreal. Everything symptom, problem etc I have or had it’s crazy so I completely understand what you are going through and how you feel. I would love to chat with you more about this if you are okay with that via email or something.
