This book is designed to help you start dyeing with a minimal amount of time, effort, and supplies. If you already know the basics, you will find some new approaches and techniques. There are many ways to dye fabric. I’ve experimented and adapted methods to find the ways of working that fit my needs.
· Fast: I generally use methods that don’t take a lot of time or effort. I want to dye the fabric and start using it.
· Fun: I dye fabric for myself because it’s fun, so I don’t want to get bogged down by complicated methods, time-consuming techniques, or extensive record-keeping.
· Easy: I always have dyeing supplies on hand, but because I dye sporadically, I don’t want to keep mixed dyes or other solutions around. I mix what I need when I need it. I also use the minimum amount of supplies to get the job done.
In addition to dyeing fabric to make quilts, garments, and other projects, I have learned that it's just as easy to dye clothes, household goods, and other things I already have. In my house, anything that is light-colored or stained is a prime candidate for dyeing. I routinely dye clothing, as well as faded bath towels, spotted kitchen towels, stained linen tablecloths and napkins, and more.
So what are you waiting for?
all these items were dyed with dylon machine dye - Burlesque red in the same load - it's a great colour - i also did a couple white shirts as i just can't wear white but loved the shapes.

Mike Hills will present a program on herbal dye plants that he helped Jane Haynes prepare and present to the Herb Society of America Annual Meeting in 2006. Great details and information on the history of plants used for dyeing fabric, leather, basketry, etc. Many of Jane's beautiful plant-dyed samples will be on hand for discussion and observation. Jane has made a study of the colors that can be created from our Arizona garden and native plants, since she moved here in the 1970's. With the aid of mordants, and the proper natural materials, the range of colors available will astound you.
bento wraps furoshiki, tie-dye and fold/peg dye
The other day i did some dyeing and made these furoshiki / handkerchiefs. They are messily done (not very japanese) but its kind of realistic.
Its a practical cloth, people use every day. It can double as a tablecloth or napkin, it holds the box together.
What a combination: art and textile and function and food!

The volleyball team I coached made tie dye shirts at the beginning of the season as a "team bonding" activity and then I had them personalized with their names and numbers. These are the cookie representations of them. :)
Those plastic caps were SUCH a good idea. Last time I did this we ended up with a permanent pink splot on the basement door where someone bonked up against it with dye still in his hair.
