I did a lot of fabric dying in college but I haven't done any since. Your charms look lovely.
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 :)
xoxoxo

I have tea dyed a couple of pieces to mute them. I would really like to experiment with more dying.

I have not tried dying fabric yet but I've really been loving all the hand-dyed fabrics I've been seeing.
At secondary school in the 60's our art teacher taught us how to dye burlap using vegetables - I recall onion skins used to make a beautiful yellow.

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.
I haven't tried to dye fabric but I admire hand-dyes that others have made.
I've only used koolaid with silks. I want to try, but never seem to have enough kid-free time. One day!
I bought some fabric-dye-powder a bucket and white fabric, but haven't got to dyeing it yet. It somehow scares me... Already thought of getting a lighter color dye (maybe ochre) so I can try again if I won't succeed...

Thanks for the giveaway,

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 haven't done any dyeing since then, but I love hand dyed fabric, and I treasure handcrafted things. Thanks so much for the chance to win this thoughtful prize.
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!
