Happy accidents

I had a beige skirt that I liked, but it was so, well... beige!  So I dyed it blue. 

The first time it looked just as though it had been put in the wash with a pair of jeans - not the look that I was particularly after!

The second time it actually worked better than I imagined.  As the embroidery was polyester it didn't take any of the colour whereas the skirt itself was cotton and supped up all of the blue. 

I like it better like this!
