More Dye, More Fabric!

While putting together layers for bonded samples I decided that although I have plenty of fabric in my colour scheme I felt I needed to dye some, as I did with colouring paper. I raked through my fabric stash and came up with plenty of white fabric, natural and synthetic. I also found some undyed scrim and a new dishcloth. I used cold water dyes I had and loosely followed the instructions; but basically chucked it in the sink in two batches, added some salt, stirred it now & then, and rinsed it when I remembered, in between bonding samples.

 
I'm pleased with the outcome and have a lovely pile of fabric. I feel more of an affinity with paper and fabric that I have coloured myself!
