I love experimenting with natural dyes to create my own unique stash of fabrics and yarns to use in my creative projects.
When I started with natural dyeing a few years ago, I quickly discovered that a Dye Journal is incredibly helpful for keeping track of my experiments so I can recreate the colors I love and build on past experiments.
Creating a dye journal is super simple. All you need to get started is a blank sketchbook or notebook, a glue stick, and a pen. There are some key details I always make note of so I can recreate my color recipes.
Let me show you inside my dye journal and walk you through the steps to creating and using your own.

You'll learn:
- A simple set up for dyeing your own fabrics that makes it easy to get started!
- Types of fabrics to use + the different effects you can create (lots of great options for quilters!)
- The overall process for dyeing fabrics that won't fade or bleed
- I'll demonstrate dyeing with real fabric & a dye you probably have in your pantry
- Plus a ton of beautiful examples of colors you and prints you can achieve in your own kitchen
Hope to see you there!
