Naomi and I dyed a bunch of the kids’ wool shirts today. (The dyes I ordered arrived yesterday.) We were eager to see the colors in real life, not just powder or on the screen! I planned on each child having three wool long-sleeve t-shirts for the winter.
First up: periwinkle. Next: teal. Third: stand-by black. (Black not shown. Use your imagination on that one.)
The close-up of the neckline shows a very nice 1/2″ neckline binding applied with my Janome coverstitch machine. Naomi took the picture of the neckline for you.
This 100% merino wool interlock (from Covered Caboose) is the easiest fabric I have ever sown. It is a dream. I love that God made wool with incredible properties (insulating, antimicrobial, water absorbing, water repellent, etc.) that make it useful in our clothing; its value has been proven throughout the ages. I’m thankful that we have access to such fine and useful material!

I love the periwinkle color! They look great.
I love the colors! They will look so nice on the treasures. I hope you are all feeling better. I’ve been praying!
