Fabric dyeing

Module 6 of my City & Guilds course was all about fabric dyeing. I have to admit that I procrastinated starting this module partly because it wasn’t embroidery based, But as with module 2 once I started I really enjoyed the process of experimenting.

There were 5 different dyeing techniques for us to try, you can see each of the techniques in the pictures below along with the outcomes.

  • plastic bag dyeing

  • microwave dyeing

  • space dying

  • ice cube dying

  • drainpipe dying
