I have tie died Tshirts with my children but I have not experimented any further.
no but I love all fabric, thanks
Your fabric is so gorgeous! I have dyed yarn recently and I remember to have dyed fabric when I was little and in a summer camp :) It was great fun - both, when I was little as well as my recent yarn dyeing :)

Never done any before:)
I've tried dyeing with the kids - we used blackberries. I tried all the tricks I found online to set the colour - It was a beautiful magenta at first, but it faded to a barely-there-beige. It was so dissapointing that we kind of gave up. :\
I've never dyed fabric before. I just buy tons of it.

Dying fabric is something I've always wanted to do…but a little fear factor sets in…I'll ruin the washer or murphy's law will come visit.
I have never dyed fabric - I'm afraid I'd make a huge mess and I don't have room for it in my condo.
I love your delightful free-spirited quilts! Thanks for your inspiring blog. I took a fabric dying class once and we overdyed black and white fabric. I loved the results!

i have never dyed fabric :) Thanks@! ksmith8@emich.edu
I've never hand dyed before! Seems intimidating!
I've dyed lots of fabric -- cotton, silk, wool, yarns, and unwoven fibers, basket reed, some custom dyeing for a couple of people, and a lot of just dabbling around with dyes and paints. It's been awhile, but I'm getting hungry to get back to it.
I have dyed fabric a little but more often I dye wool for spinning. Not nearly enough to make me an expert though!
