Faux Pas Corrected

Here is the corrected ladies' top that was featured in Jamaican Tie-Dye Gone Awry.

After the fiasco trying the traditional Jamaican tie-dye, my husband and I had to come up with a new idea. We were stuck with a bunch of children's sets, men's tanks, and men's shirts that were not fit to be displayed on our web site. We realized that however hideous the clothing had become, we were lucky that at least the colors were fairly light. We ended up re-designing these shirts as if they were blanks. The result was that areas that would normally have been white in a finished design had a pale tan hue. We were able to save the projects with a little extra time and creativity. The main lesson here is that no matter how much you screw up a project, there is always some way to fix it. The results may not be what you expected, but sometimes they can come out even better.
