## About Custom Dyeing & Apparel Services

### Why I Do This

Clothes have stories, right? I always felt tossing them out early just didn't make sense. Giving them a second life with color and craft feels way better - for the planet and for us. This isn’t just about selling a service; it’s about showing what we can do together if we rethink fashion.

### What I Offer

- Breathing new life into your clothes, especially using natural fabric upcycling. You bring me your old favorites, I work with stains or faded bits using plant-based textile dyeing. Sometimes, it's a complete surprise how cool they turn out.
- If you want something totally new, I make custom pieces. Organic yoga wear that actually fits, gentle onesies for babies (yes, I’ll hand-paint the name if you like), even banners for your events that won’t just end up as trash.
- For designers and brands: I partner up on everything from dyeing fabric yardage to offering advice if you want to switch to natural dyes. Happy to get involved in collabs or experimental projects too.

### How It Works

- Natural fibers only - cotton, silk, bamboo. No polyester or dark stuff, please.
- Drop your clothes at our Mysore points or connect for custom ideas.
- I only use plant and mineral dyes, no chemicals, nothing that’ll harm your skin or rivers.

I won’t promise perfection, but I do promise your clothes will come out with a story you’ll want to share.

## Meet your expert

[Color Ashram](https://mytribe.in/color-ashram-foundation)

### My story

Hey, we’re Color Ashram. Mysore called us in, and now it’s home. Started by me, Namrata, and Arun, this place is a mix of visual arts, theatre, dance, and a whole lot of heart. Sometimes you’ll find a Finnish grandma and a Dubai artist hanging out here, all ages, all stories. We’re not just a studio - we’re a space where hands get messy, ideas spark, and every day feels like a festival. We love connecting people to the earth, one color-stained palm at a time.

### My work

- **All Our Services**: Natural dye training, eco-printing workshop, batik, indigo, playback theatre, studio memberships, internships, upcycled clothing service, custom design, DIY kits.
- **Open Makerspace**: Anyone can join - homeschoolers, artists, hobbyists, travelers. Age, background, doesn’t matter. Just bring your energy.
- **Hands-On Learning**: We forage, we grind, we stain our hands. It’s about learning by doing, and sometimes unlearning too.
- **Community & Collaboration**: Talks, music, artist jams, ecological days. We connect local and global folks for real conversations and creative work.
- **Upcycling & Conscious Clothing**: Got old clothes? We upcycle and re-dye. Plus, we make organic cotton yoga wear, naturally dyed and climate-friendly.
- **Innovation in Color**: We’ve got one-step dyes, and we’re tinkering with microbial dye innovation. Always searching for easier, greener ways.
