GOsh it looks wonderful. I have not attempted it before because I don't know anyone who does. Just getting together in the country would be fun. By the way, I do live in the country is anyone wants to dye. I have fabric. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

I bought dyed fabric on here before and have them on a shelf where I can find them now. Haven't decided how to use them yet. Kind of like when we used to tie dye our t-shirts back in the day. Maybe they will sell some on here one day. Those of us who don't dye, buy. ROFL

Inspired by this thread I'm dyeing some right now & writing a quick "anyone can do it" tutorial with pics :) I'll post back tomorrow with a link when they're done. Thanks to Jacquie for bringing this up, I really missed dyeing & am having fun this morning (and avoiding a pile of housework, lol).

I do..I especially love to dye white on white prints...
I have taught dyeing, painting, marbeling, and inking on fabric for years, and I still learn new things....if you ever need anything let me know..I keep plenty of supplies on hand to sell to students.
