Fabric Dyeing~Purple to Pink!
Well, I had to do it! I've been wanting to do my own fabric dyeing and finally got started at it yesterday. My daughter is here visiting this week and I've taken a few vacation days so we can play together!
We used a low water immersion method to get colors with "texture".
I got all my dyes and chemicals as well as pfd fabrics via internet order from Dharma Trading Company, and the "tools", bins, spoons, measuring cups, buckets, etc. from the local dollar store.
This batch was done with just two colors of dye, deep purple and fuchsia, and is for my daughter, who loves purple.
Enjoy~

I want to do this! What is pfd fabric? Do you have any idea how durable the colors will be? This is kinda like your own tye dye/batik look - I bet you could figure out how to do the patern if you wanted to as well...now my mind is thinking...it is a dangerous thing! (or so I am told!...he he he he - I'm gonna think away!)
Thanks for sharing - love the ideas and color choices!

isn't it fun?! some fabrics feel "tough" after dyeing and are hard to sew, I get the best results using cotton sateen.
Have fun.
Have fun.
