KCee sdandrea1 bought a new battery for the Mini........for $200!!!!!! Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Mini = BMW The dealership wants about $700 to put a battery in my 328. Even if I do it, the same battery will cost over $250.

Walterjn sdandrea1 here you go. This is where I found the patterns. https://www.chandye.com/all-tie-dye-patterns/ Here is the dye I used. https://www.michaels.com/tulip-one-step-tie-dye-kit-large/10118361.html?r=g&cm_mmc=PLASearch-_-google-_-MICH_Shopping_US_N_Craft+%26+Hobbies_N_Smart_BOPIS_N-_-&Kenshoo_ida=&kpid=go_cmp-9972406265_adg-99939223639_ad-433378147590_pla-1355402484231_dev-m_ext-_prd-10118361 I did use waxed string from a leather sewing kit for the tying. Best thing I can tell you is to get the fabric lightly damp, and tie it quickly, then dye it. I spend time tying everything, then I soaked it, did my best to wring out the water before dying. 100% cotton takes the dye best. Look into using soda ash in the original soaking before dying, should help the colors be more vibrant.
Typhoon Walterjn NICE work Walter! Holy crap! Love the tutorial… that’ll be a cool project to take on. Seriously they way those came out, especially the back of the shirt that looks like a spine, you could sell these for decent money.
garyt1957 Typhoon Sorry to hear that. Never thought I'd say that about rats, but those guys were cute!
LogicalOne Dr appointment and therapy today, now resting the body. I’ve hit balls a couple of times this week and am finding a groove. I’ve also picked up 6 mph driver speed from 19 months ago. 🤔😊
Par4QC LogicalOne I’ve also picked up 6 mph driver speed aha, wondered where that went. And why my drives are so short this year. Must have been stuck to the card. 😅
LBlack14 I took my clubs to work a couple times, this week, including today. End of the day, I didn't have it left in me to even try.
Walterjn Typhoon I have been enjoying the back so they look like that. Tried a couple of different variations on the folding of them. Just kinda enjoyable to try different fold patterns and see the results. I have one more to fold. Might spend some time with it and an iron to get sharp folds. Just to see if I can get that a little sharper.
Rickochet Typhoon On a sad note, last month we lost our pet rat Vinny. Sorry to hear about the loss of your little buds. Sad to hear about Lemmy missing his friend. Two little cuties for sure. Thanks for posting about them over the years.
Bravopilot Back in VA after 5900+ miles in three weeks. Not doing that again. At least gas was cheap.😎
sdandrea1 Bravopilot At least gas was cheap Welcome home! Gas IS cheap compared to European prices. 😉
LBlack14 Typhoon On a sad note, last month we lost our pet rat Vinny. Lemmy took care of Vinny when he was sick and after he passed Lemmy started not eating… he was depressed. We started taking him places with us but he really missed Vinny. So this morning Lemmy also passed away. The last couple weeks we take him out and have to give him the bottle so he’d drink etc… it was only a matter of time. I was with him last night and I knew he’d be gone in the morning. So sad. Today I’m cleaning out their cage etc John, I'm crying. I'm so sorry.
