Save problem fabrics with dye

December 22, 2011 by Denise Felton Leave a Comment

Stephani Miller posts on Threads blog:

There’s no reason to toss garments that have faded or donate fabric you mistakenly purchased in an unflattering color. Fashion trends for tie-dye effects and bright, saturated colors are still going strong, with both effects carrying over from Fall 2011 and Resort 2012 designer collections into Spring 2012 offerings. It’s easy to tap into these trends at home by over-dyeing garments and fabric.

Overdyeing is also a good way to change the tone of ground fabric for embroidery or make its pattern more subtle. See Stephani’s tips about dyes and how to use them.
