Hand Dyed Fabrics
#1
I saw some beautiful hand dyed fabrics over the weekend that I would have loved to have. They where the most beautiful jewel tone I have ever saw. The problem is it was $15.00 a yard. Ouch! Not in my budget.
Has anyone dyed fabrics? If so, is it possible to get deep rich jewel tone results and what do I need to get to try it?

Taking a class on fabric dying is great. If you have any available (university's sometimes have classes) sometimes quilt shops-I have taken some through The International Quilt festival. Their classes are wonderful. If you have an active quilt guild they sometimes get teachers to come in and teach on a subject.
There are some wonderful books on Dying out there too.
