I dusted off the crocs and washed the spiders out of them so I could attempt my dyeing today.

I have a rather unusual method, it works for me… but it isn't recognised as being very artistic.

I hose down the table,

lay the fabric on the table,

roll the ink onto the wet fabric.

and hang it out to dry, being careful not to stand up wind.

Being a woman of a certain age, I can multi task.

I water the garden, wash the pavers, dye the fabric, and decorate the table all at the same time…..!!!

  1. Multi -talented. You’re not just a pretty face. I’ll have to give your method a go. What type of dyes are you using?
