All the kids – Jamie, Jono, Alexia, and Julian – have taken off for the beach again. It’s a long holiday weekend and they wanted to take advantage of this last chance before Julian and Alexia have to return home in a couple of weeks. And, of course, they wanted some more tie-dyed T-shirts to take with them. No matter what you do, they always turn out great. The kids absolutely love this activity.
While we were at it, we dyed a few pieces of fabric, too.
On a roll here… how about experimenting with some clothesline? Hmmm… will this become a bag or a bowl?
And with the leftover dye, I decided to throw in some scraps of batting, just to see how the dye would take. Like cotton candy, don’t you think? I’ m getting ideas of how to use these!
I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I am learning how to dye my own fabrics and am dabbling with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.
