    I love them. My guild is supposed to have a dyeing class this summer. I can't wait. I have been wanting to play with dyeing my own fabric but don't even know where to start. I think if I had a class it would help me know how to play with it.

    I've never tried dying my own fabric. I make such a mess that I would have it everywhere. I like the way yours turned out. You go girl!!! Fantastic job on the pattern you are working on. Keep going!!

    I dye most of my own fabric. I get a lot of satisfaction from making an object from start to finish. Next I will be weaving my own fabric, ha ha. Don't always expect perfect results and if you don't like it just re-dye it. Some of my prettiest fabrics have been re-dyes.

    I do ice dying and other small activities with dye but I prefer to paint / spray my fabrics.

    yes I dye my fabric, love doing it so much. Now that house and patio are done next up is my dye house, a little cape cod style shed, will have water, air, heat, elec, a panda washing machine, sink, counter and a table cupboards for dyes and fabric paints, I can hardly wait for it to get finished so I can get back into my dyeing.
    Your colors are lovely, you did a great job!
