tent rebagged

I bought a new dome tent a little over a year ago. It's case was ambitiously small. Given the tent fit in there when I bought it, it ought to have been possible to get it back in there. This has not been proven true in reality. So I rolled the tent comfortably, and made a new bag to put it in, entirely from stash and recycled bits. Hurrah. The bright blue and yellow ripstop are leftovers from a similar project for my sleeping bag years ago, so they will even look nice together, regardless of the tent itself being bright green.


    
 

Colour Stripping

Look away if you read me on FB

Colour stripping results. Three pairs of before and after, before is leftmost. Ignore the pink embroidery- that piece is only to show the third before colour given I didn't keep a piece of that original. Quite by accident, I have so far mostly stripped red toned cloth. The red goes but often leaves a yellow colour behind. The attempt to strip yellow only took the colour back a tone or so. Then I tried to strip two printed shirts. Nothing happened. Either that dye is really fixed, or I managed to thoroughly use up the stripping chemical!

~$8 for the packet of Rit colour remover, 10-11m fabric stripped- so <$1/m on top of fabric cost.
