Fabric dying Batiks.
I just put 3 yards of white muslin in the washer to get ready for hand dying. then I will wait until our quilt guild meets to bring it in for dying as a guild project. I have dyed fabrics before and am thinking it may be time to do some more. About 50 years ago (while in high school) I did a small piece of batik. I remember the process and have plenty of stamps I can use for the basic patterns. What I don't remember is the fabric that was used for this process. Has anyone ever hand dyed their own batiks? What was the base fabric that is used. I think it would be fun to try at least once in this lifetime. Dose anyone have any hints on creating your own batiks?
