Have you ever wished you could breathe new life into fabrics or completely transform their colors? Enter the world of direct-application dyeing with fiber-reactive dyes! This class is your passport to an exploration of professional-looking results without the campy cliches of tie-dye.

 

Discover the art of manipulating fabrics into unique patterns and then bring them to life with liquid dyes. Say goodbye to plain, tired fabrics or colors that no longer inspire you. Turn them into one-of-a-kind art yardage that you cannot wait to sew with. This class offers the perfect opportunity to create multiple smaller projects like napkins and fat quarters or dive into larger projects such as yardage, aprons, or garments.

 

Note: The process works wonders on plant fibers like cotton, linen, rayon, bamboo, hemp, and more. We provide everything you need for the class, except for what you want to dye. You will have time to create multiple smaller projects like napkins and fat quarters or dive into 1-2 larger projects like yardage, aprons, or garments. Dyeable t-shirts, assorted garments, and fabrics will be available for purchase.

 

Take your projects home to cure and washout, armed with detailed instructions for future creations. For added convenience, Jessica offers an optional service to launder your pieces and ship them to you, ready to use or wear.  

 

Join us in this colorful journey and redefine the possibilities of your fabrics!
