Learn to Dye Fabric the Quick and Easy Way - An excerpt:
This book is designed to help you start dyeing with a minimal investment in terms of time, effort, and supplies. If you already know the basics, you will find some new approaches and techniques. There are many ways to dye fabric. I've experimented and adapted methods to find the ways of working that fit my needs.
- Fast: I generally use methods that don't take a lot of time or effort. I want to dye the fabric and start using it.
- Fun: I dye fabric for myself because it's fun, so I don’t want to get bogged down by complicated methods, time-consuming techniques, or extensive record keeping.
- Easy: I always have dyeing supplies on hand, but because I dye sporadically, I don’t want to keep mixed dyes or other solutions around. I mix what I need when I need it. I also use the minimum amount of supplies to get the job done.
In addition to dyeing fabric to make quilts, garments, and other projects, I have learned that it's just as easy to dye clothes, household goods, and other things I already have. In my house, anything that is light colored or stained is a prime candidate for dyeing. I routinely dye clothing, as well as faded bath towels, spotted kitchen towels, stained linen tablecloths and napkins, and more.
So what are you waiting for?
