The Finished Results!

Please excuse the finger in the way of the camera but these are my three metre lengths drying in the garden. Today I managed to get three dyed! They are slightly different in tone to my sample but they should still work, I do find it very hard once you get a particular colour its hard to get the exact same one but I am pleased with the results and there is no blotches- thank god!

Dying Fabric in the Garden!

How to dye your fabric at home- using a big boiler usually for making lots of cups of tea! To get prepared for printing my furnishing lengths after easter I thought I would give it a go and dye them at home. It was very useful to have a washing line as in my flat I don't so whilst I popped home for a few days I thought I would give it a go. I used a big box to wash my fabric and the boiler to dye the fabric and it was really easy! It was like a dye lab but in my back garden!

Such a Beautiful Day...

So the weather has turned around and these past few weeks have been lovely! Today was especially hot! It was getting extremely busy in the print rooms today and we had to have the windows open to the full! We break up for easter tomorrow and I will be sad to leave me second home-(the print rooms) for a while.

Hello April!

April already and time is moving very very fast! Ohhh and we break up for easter on friday and I'm worried I will forget something important! Eeek! This photograph shows me sampling for my 5th design in which I am going to print all the finals after Easter. Bit scary but exciting!

Cute Buy!

Recently I have bought these cute measuring spoons! I love how they are shaped to indicate Russian Dolls! And thought I must buy them straight away! They was only £5 from Paperchase- Bargain! They will be very useful to measure dyes!

The Week has Ended on a High!

So, its the end of another week! Even though I have said in my previous post all the negative points I am extremely pleased with how much sampling I have got done! Now I have a good choice to choose from to produce my final lengths! I really love combining print methods so I will definitely take this on board when I pick my favourites! I also need to think how they would work well as a collection! Today, it was also April fools and it was funny to see everyone up to mischief!
