I was down to my last pair of clean jeans. Out of desperation, I made up what I thought was a fairly weak bleach solution to pre-soak the jeans that had been stained from various ranch chores. I soaked the jeans overnight.
The jeans looked okay when I dumped them in the washing machine. When I took them out, the jeans were definitely faded. Not an all over fade; just in spots. And those spots weren't an even fade; graduated like one sees in tie-dyed t-shirts. I groaned because I was looking at buying new jeans just when the money was the tightest.
Worse, I would have to wear a pair of those jeans to go to town to buy new ones. Just as I was getting ready to go, Hubby asked, "When did you buy those new jeans?" I explained what happened and that I was getting ready to purchase replacements. He shrugged and simply said they were kind of cool.
While I was purchasing the supplies needed for the ranch, I noticed that I was getting quite a few approving looks from the men. If the women noticed the "tie-bleached" jeans at all, it was only because their husbands / significant others were looking. I guess it will be a while before I buy new jeans.
