Fabric envy here!! Love what you did. I always flirt with trying hand dying but haven't. And to your co-worker who asked, a definitive and and resounding NO. Hand dyes have a look that no mass produced fabric can achieve and rarely will you get the exact color you want. You can only get these by doing them yourself or buying from another hand dyer on Etsy or from Cherrywood and even then you might not get the lovely assortment you made yourself and probably at a MUCH higher cost.
