Dyed Some Fabric Today

I am taking part in a monthly ornament stitching and wanted some colored fabric to stitch my snowmen on. I couldn't find exactly what I had in mind so decided to dye my own. This is what it looked like when I started.


And this is what it looks like now.


I think it came out pretty darn good.

    beautiful colors and beautiful shading. I cannot wait to see what you stitch on them. You are right, winter scenes and snowmen would look lovely. Ever thought of selling them? What did you use for a dye?

    I am so sorry you didn't win one of my PIF's but you are welcome to use this idea! It just fit my schedule so much better than making something. Be sure to watch my blog because I will be having a pattern give away very soon. I try to have at least one a month now.

    Great job dying the fabrics. What did you use to dye them with? I am thinking of trying this myself. I purchased the monthly biscornus from Helga and am having trouble finding the fabrics locally--I don't like to order online too much. You are correct the Vermillion snowmen would look great on this too!!!
