Tie-dye is back. You see more of them on the streets these days: Tie-dyed T-shirts and clothing. Do-It-Yourself is big and, apparently, as is buying manufactured tie-dye clothing. It seems to go in waves over the years and it’s become a hot quarantine fashion trend that seems to be sticking around.
Some suggest COVID-19 and social distancing and lots of time on one’s hands at home are responsible for the tie-dye surge. It’s not just for kids and you don’t have to be a hippie to tie-dye.
Some Bismarck crafters make tie-dye pieces for fashion and some do it for fun.
Allie Severson is a long time tie-dyer and recently made some pieces for the Flowing Through Bisman fire and flow arts group.
“We are preparing for our first public fire performance at Medieval Rush this Saturday, so we made the dye shirts for the performance,” said Severson.
