Dyeing

A group of my sewing friends came over to dye silk scarves.  Unfortunately, I did not get pics of us dying or their scarves because it was about 5 days before Terry and I decided to blog.  I dyed 12 fat quarters prior to everyone coming, so we would have a variety of dyes prepared.


  This is my fourth time dying fabrics, and I am pleased with the results.  I simply used red, yellow, and blue.  I used the formulas from this excellent blog:   


Here is an example of the variation in color I got by crumpling a wet fat quarter and putting it in a quart jar of dye. This is color #9 above.
