It can be tricky to dye clothes, but if black is what you're after it's
not too bad. You can buy boxes of black dye and use the method on the
box. I would recommend 2 boxes. I have used the washing machine method
with success. Just dissolve the dye in the water before you add the
jeans to the machine.
Note: wash a load of black clothes after you use your washing machine
for this process, because your washing machine will still have black
dye residue.
In the future when you are washing your black jeans, add a cup of
vinegar in the wash. It helps maintain the colour. It won't make your
clothes smell vinegary. I promise. It also acts as a bit of a natural
fabric softener.
