I was right about this new dye color called Curry. It is phenomenal. Shown here with streaks of Amethyst, I love the rich golden “curry powder” color.
I still have more to iron…the ironing is constant when you dye a lot of fabrics. When I wholesale my hand dyes, I leave out the ironing! The buyer gets to do that. But here are some results of Monday’s dyeing spree…
..with onesies to match…
The plan was to clean out the 5 onesies I had in my room that I planned on dyeing a long time ago and never did. Instead, because they were so cute and I have some events coming up I think I could sell them at, I purchased MORE! We’ll learn shortly if this was a good idea or not.
Yesterday, I discharged the last of the black cotton sateen I had…the whole time I’m thinking, did I need any plain black cotton for anything? And I couldn’t think of a thing, so I discharged all of it. Later, while soaking in the bathtub I remembered…I did need a fat quarter of black cotton to make a sample with. This may not be a dilemma for those of you who live near a quilt shop or a Joann’s, but I live an hour from anywhere and I have just made my bi-monthly trip to anywhere with a fabric store and won’t be going back anytime soon. Oh well…
Like the donut design? That is from a pool noodle. I cut slices of it and used it as a stamp.
Now off to do the rest of the things on my list. I might have a little fun today and make some more paper cloth….er..well…that’s not officially on my list.
