I am going to keep track of how many days I actually spend dyeing this summer and will share with you my results. I hope you aren’t bored to death but I will spend a considerable amount of time dyeing. Now, I dye for a few days and then I just get itchy to start stitching a bit.
It is a love-hate relationship I have with ironing. I have just finished ironing 45 yards of fabric the past week. Not the part I like. But I sure do love the way newly dyed fabric looks when you are done ironing. Yards dyed=yards ironed.
The pieces on the right were pleated and tray dyed with an indigo color. Very pretty.
I will try keeping a better record of my process this summer. At least that is the goal the first week. Just want to see what works and hopefully achieve consistent and reproducible results. I also need to go through my existing stash tonight and see what I need. I know reds, greens and browns.
Off to stitch. Be creative, my friends!
Whew, now back to stitching.
