There are more in my Flickr album. I went a little crazy! :) I went to Michael's to pick up a few threads I was missing and decided to get some Rit Dye. My mom said she heard Tan gives a vintage look, so I decided to try it out. I got some cheap evenweave to try it out on.
I'm very happy with how it turned out. I just filled the sink with hot water and put a few dashes in. I soaked the fabric for about 10 minutes - if that. It looks a lot like tea-dyeing.
Well, not much else going on. The book I've been listening to (see sidebar) is so good! I haven't wanted to stop listening. I highly recommend it. Well, I'm off to listen and stitch now! Write later! :)

Your scissor fob stitching looks great! And what fun to see more kitted projects!
ReplyDeleteLuv your fob. You have several wonderful projects ready to go!
ReplyDeleteAnd, thx for sharing the source of your thread holders. I noticed the oval ones in your 'kits' and was thinking they'd be great for perle coton #5's. And the bunny shape -- what a hoot!!!
I love the scissor fob so far. It is such a cute design.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried dying my own fabric,though I may have to after seeing your's

I love looking at all your WIPs Nicole. Nice work. I used a Rit dye called (funnily enough) "Tea Dye" on the floba for 2 of my SB stockings. I was very happy with the result.
ReplyDeleteYour scissor fob looks great! I love the fabric dying. I would love to try it, but am a chicken. Is it hard?
ReplyDeleteI just received "Bless our Home" in the mail last week, and I can't wait to get started.
ReplyDeleteYour fob is coming along nicely!
Nice job on the fabric dying :)

A sweet fob to match your needlecase - I just love those little black-faced sheep!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I can get Rit dye in the UK? Your fabric turned out great
I love the evenweave you dyed. I think it looks great. I will have to try it out. Fabric is the one stitchy thing that I am lacking.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love your blog layout! It's been a while since I've actually visited your blog and not just read your posts through google reader.
OH, I'm dying to do that Bless Our Home. Its gorgeous. Love the fabric dyeing too. Brilliant idea. Your fabric looks great. My poor fob finally has part of a sheepie on it and a house roof. And a border. OH, my.

Your fabric turned out great.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea on the fabric dye - the result is fantastic! Your fob is looking lovely too. And more things kitted, love them!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm always leary of tea and coffee dying because of the acids, but the tan fabric dye does give it a very similar look - and no worries about acid!
ReplyDeleteohh that fabric looks really nice...i think i might try it sometime
ReplyDeleteyour fob looks great!
