April Theme

Hey everyone!

The theme this month is favorite stitching tool.  My favorite isn't really a tool but I use it for my stitching.  My favorite thing to work with are dyes!  I dye almost all of my fabric and it's so much fun to dye and stitch on.  I love playing with the colors and I never know how it will come out so it's a surprise every time.   Especially since I mottle my fabrics.  Not only is it fun it saves me money because hand dyed fabrics are pretty expensive as you all know!  Doing it myself means I can pay around $2 ($3 if I don't have the dye color I want yet) to get a decent sized fabric.  I use coupons at Michael's which are usually 50% off so I get it cheaper.

These are some of my dyes.  You've seen this one quite a bit :)

 This is Magical World by Tilton Crafts

 This is Rapunzel which is a gray and purple

 This is the rest of my fabric stash.

The extra stash is all one dye color per fabric piece.  When I do multiple colors I put them in together and they usually create more colors but it's important the colors are complimentary unless I want a brown mess lol.  The Magical world piece is actually all blue and yellow which created quite a bit of green.  The colors are actually brighter in real life especially on Magical World but my camera blows them out weird.  Oh well lol it's fun!
