O my gosh! I kept having difficulty finding a day to dye my own fabric at home. And honestly, I was kind of afraid. I had done it in a couple of workshops, (thank you Claudia Wood for all of your fine teaching and technique!) but never all by myself. I've had all the material and equipment for months. So last Saturday I felt brave. I took a cue from Patsy Thompson (http://www.patsythomsondesigns.com/) and dyed my fabric outdoors, letting it dry in the sun instead of all that rinsing. Then I machine washed it twice to make it color fast. And everything turned out brilliant and beautiful!! (If you don't mind me saying so myself.) Take a look at the pictures.
