Synopsis

Add colour to your life with a wide range of fun dyeing methods including tie-dyeing, dip-dyeing, marbling and space-dyeing. With over 30 exciting and original projects to create, such as a striking marbled desk set, patchwork cushion covers, a dip-dyed floor cushion for a child, or a bold and colourful tablecloth, this title includes plenty of small-scale projects to inspire a beginner, as well as more challenging methods for those with some experience. Clearly photographed step-by-step instructions help you to achieve the best possible results every time. For those who love crafts, choosing to dye your own fabric is another stage in the creative process of producing original hand-made items. This book shows you some of the fascinating ways in which fabric can be coloured quickly and easily, with minimal upheaval at home. Now the technological process of making dyes has advanced and the colour palette available has broadened. In addition, dyes are much more stable, producing colourfast cloth that retains its vibrant hue. Whether you enjoy working with colour and want to experiment with different methods of using it, or you simply have a passion for unique hand-made crafts, you are sure to find inspiration here.
