Interesting that you dry it in the sun. Do you have any issues when you wash the quilt? thanks
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love that you leave them crinkled up! I'll bet the fabric looks awesome when it's done!
ReplyDeletei will have to try that, haven't tried instant.
ReplyDeleteI use walnut ink but that can get expensive with large pieces.

I use the instant coffee to sun dye my muslin, but i've never mixed it with the tea...i'll have to try that sometime! Thanks for sharing this~
ReplyDeleteI'll be trying that process tomorrow. thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a good way to dye larger pieces. Is it permanent, or only semi-permanent? I hope you show these pieces when they are dry.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this. Is the water hot when you add all of your fabric to the pot?
