    Default has anyone tried re-dyeing jeans?

    I wondered if this was even a good idea to try on some of the faded jeans we have around here.

    I re-dyed some black jeans. That worked pretty well. I can't wear blue jean to work but I do not see any one so I wear black jeans but I only have 3 pair so they get a lot of washing. Boss didn't like how they were faded so I dyed them.

    I have done it with Rit dye. Not the same color as new blue jeans, but not bad either. Try it on a pair you don't care about 1st Sara to see if you like the color.
