Textiles Sydney is offering to help families with a more sustainable and fun option to celebrate Harmony Day at schools by tie-dyeing existing shirts orange instead of buying new!
As you may be aware, many of the local primary schools celebrate Harmony Day by allowing school kids to wear orange instead of their uniform. In an effort to improve sustainability, Textiles Sydney is offering to help families with a more sustainable and fun option by tie-dyeing existing shirts orange instead of buying new. This is Textiles Sydney's second time hosting this already popular event. Last year we had nearly fifty families come through.

Pale pinks, off white, stained (but clean), have words/advertising are all good options. Shirts that have some "non cotton" will still dye but may be paler.
