Tried my hand in hand dyeing

I always wanted to try to dye fabric. But I never got around to it either because of the time but also because I did not really knew how.
Don't get me wrong I really still don't know how. But just trying makes perfect, right??
Well I found a nice tutorial at sew mama sew blog and I bought a starter pack dye already last year at e-bay. I even had bought the fabric but I didn't get around to do so.
But when I seen Maggi's fabric and once the fabric I ordered from her got here, I really thought I should give it a try.
I had some plain cotton fabric and I had some cotton popeline (that what its called here in Germany) and I used a cotton tablecloth because I ran out of the other fabric. Lol.
From all 3 fabrics I liked the cotton popline best. It has a nice shine to it plus it has a nice touch to it.
For my next time trying I will order me some cotton silk.
So and here are the pictures, all I need to do know is to find out what I will create with it and where I find the time to do so. Lol

 


 

You all have a great weekend

Hand dyed fabric from Maggi

Yesterday I received my fabric I ordered from Maggi. Its gorgeous.

I especially love the vibrant green. Its so rich looking. 
 
 
but the other colors are awesome also. I just love green so much. 


 
I always wanted to try my hand in dyeing fabric. If I only knew how.
I wished there would be a class I could take close by. I'm a person that has to see how is something done. What about you??
But until then I will just enjoy Maggis Fabric. Jump on over there and take a look at the wonderful colors she has.
