Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
The Art of Cloth Dyeing »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Other

Style: Funky


Materials

Various white/off-white 100% cotton fabrics, some PFD and others simply washed with Synthrapol prior to dyeing.

What was your inspiration?

Just wanted to have some fun on a sick day! Used Jane Dunnewold's methods in The Art of Cloth Dyeing and had purchased the supplies from the class kit as well.

What are you most proud of?

I particularly like the purple, but mostly I just had fun and was willing to be surprised by the results.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just kick back and experiment!
