Yellow denim fabric for a 'Maxi-Skirt'

Oh, for a lemony yellow maxi from old, oversized ManJeans!!  The Little Giggler's "Bleaching 101: Dark Jeans to Pastel Shorts" is a well-written and detailed tutorial — I followed her guidelines and started the bleaching process on 3/29...

Photo 1. What I started with:

"At the starting gate"

Photo 2. After two five-hour bleach baths:

Still too blue for RIT Lemon Yellow...

Photo 3. After a THIRD five-hour bleach bath, the fabric is light enough for impatient me:

Yeah, good enough. Get in the dye bath!!

Photo 4. FINALLY! Fabric dyed with RIT Lemon Yellow ($2.87 per bottle at Wal-Mart):

YAY!! Lemon yellow denim fabric for a maxi-skirt!
