Good afternoon.
I hope everyone is having a lovely November day. It is cool and sunny here so I am very happy.
I have been busy trying my hand at dyeing fabric. I have done so in the past, but usually only one color or coffee/tea dyed, so it was simple. This time I did some ice-dyeing and it is very simple. There are several people of Youtube but I watched WonderfullyHopeless for inspiration.
Here is how it looks on linen. I used liquid dye instead of powdered in orange, grey and camel. I love how it turned out.
This next one I love but I learned some things. I used liquid in Camel and powdere in Tan. It is on 28ct Monaco and it is thicker fabric than linen so I had some trouble. When the powder hit the ice it made it some little spots with red and blue. Next time I will dilute the powdered dye and make it liquid. Once the ice melted and I pulled it out there was a lot of white where it did not go through so I had to do it twice. I still love it and plan to stitch this cute pattern I bought on Etsy from RedBearDesign.
It addition to dyeing fabric I also have some FFO's. I finished stitching November by Hands On Design yesterday and everything else was stitched earlier this year. My finishing isn't perfect but I still love them.
Thank You so much for looking,
Mary
