Whereas I did a happy dance when I opened this surprise parcel of fabric, the same cannot be said for the hubby when he heard the words hand dyed fabric. I think he feared that I might be venturing into the world of fabric dyeing: solutions, buckets, gloves, masks, powder pigments in every color of the rainbow, and more paraphernalia (which apparently we don't need). Alas, no fabric dyeing for me.
This fabric is Seed Catalogue - Annie's Farm Stand by Hollie Holderman, in the White on White colorway (as featured in Sunday Stash #108), and hand dyed by r0ssie.
Brenda (Pink Castle Fabrics) and Anna (Woollykat) recently participated in a fabric dyeing workshop with Rossie and these fabrics are the end result.
The colors are vibrant and the text is still very legible. What a clever use of fabric! I am so grateful that I was sent some of these fabrics to work with. Thank you Rossie and Brenda!

Hand dyeing this particular print was inspired by Jeni from In Color Order.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours and love the effect of the text popping!
ReplyDeleteI love these!
ReplyDeleteThey are fabulous. I love these colors. Makes the Seed Catalog something totally new.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful fabric. Can't wait to see what you create!
ReplyDeleteThese look gorgeous. Will look forward to seeing what you do with them!
ReplyDeletesame here: no fabric dyeing for me either but what a gorgeous result!!!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThose colors are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so in love with this fabric! I have the yellow on white. I am wondering if I would get a decent dye result from the yellow on white. I dye wool so fabric wouldn't be much of a jump.
ReplyDeleteThey would be great for pillows. Love your Sunday sets. I now collect the bracelet fabric because of your pics. The colors might work well with the newest pattern I bought too!
ReplyDeleteThey look so cool. Love the colours and the text print =D
ReplyDeleteI used some text fabric as a backing once (posted on my blog). I love the idea of fabrics with text. These are fabtastic!
ReplyDeleteWooooo! Those are awesome, aren't they? And here I thought that fabric couldn't be beat! I have it in every colorway, but not any of the dyed kind. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I think I need to get some of this fabric... Yum!
ReplyDeleteI want! Love these - must find some!
