Dying and Re-dying

After getting everything cleaned up from our fabric dying day, I had a little bit more dye mixed up.
We decided that we each needed a larger piece of purple.  So we made these:

Then we decided to over-dye two of our squirt dyed pieces.  Here are the pieces we started with:

and what we ended with:

Then we decided to "enhance" our clean up cloths.  Again, here are what we started with:

...and our final product:

I think we learned something in the process.  I know we had fun.  Now to contemplate the cutting...

Fabric Dying

I have been fortunate enough to dye fabric a few times under a good friend.  After the last time, I decided to try going solo and doing the fabric dying myself.  So I started gathering in the necessary supplies.  I also convinced my mother to try it with me.  Here are our results:

These are Mom's 24 - 1/2 yard pieces.  That's 12 colors in a bright and a lighter version.

After we got our 12 yards dyed, we tried a few pieces on the table, squirting dye onto the fabric.   Here are Mom's:

Here is Mom's clean-up cloth:

 Here are My 12 yards (pictures are 4 brights, followed by the 4 lights in the same colors):

My squirt dyed pieces (done with the help of my daughter):

 Our clean up cloth and 2 t-shirts:

Mom and I also joined together and dyed 12 yards of various white on white fabrics.  This is what we ended up with:

We ended up with a few extra pieces that were squirt dyed:

In this case we liked the back of the last fabric better than the front.  Here is a picture showing the back:

Will I do it again?  

You bet.  

Stay tuned, I have a few more pieces in the last of the mixed up dye.  

Washing day is tomorrow.
