Members zaynexpetty Posted January 25, 2015 Members Report Posted January 25, 2015 Hello, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as far as dyeing leather with indigo goes. I love the color it produces, and I am not a huge fan of using oil based dyes. I'd like to dye leather with actual indigo. Has anyone had any experience with this? Quote
makitmama Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 ok. Last summer I did a bunch of fabric, and then threw some leather into the dye bath before it was completely exhausted. I did not do a vintage style indigo that has to verment for a while, I did the indigo kit from Dharma trading company. They are great to work with. I threw in a handbag, an old belt, and some lacing. The lacing came out really dark, the rest was a true cobalt blue. I can't take a photo of any of it, because my daughters stole it all. Quote
