Hand Dyed Fabric- Oh, The Possibilities!

I’m just sharing some random pieces of fabrics I’ve dyed, each one quite different!

For many years I resisted dying my own fabrics and bought hand dyed fabrics from other dyers.

Most of them were either solid colors or had mottled textures.

I am so glad I learned to dye my own fabrics.

I love the colors and the textures I am able to achieve. Many are a surprise when I finally get them washed, dried and ironed.

The surprise is another plus when creating the fabrics.

I will admit it takes a lot more time and effort to figure out how to achieve a work of art with these patterned fabrics, but it’s all worth it when the answer is clear.
