Such a helpful and informative video. Thank you! And I kind of like the red spots on the first batch of fabrics. I think it would make for a good halloween project.
I have been a stitcher for over 50 years.....and girl; I have never thought of doing it in a glass baking sheet pan!! I LOVED the teal piece you did. When me and my group dye their cloth (s) we use a 3 foot piece of PVC pipe capped off on one end. Then pour the 4 cups; cap the other end, and they roll their fabric, place it in the tupe and shake for a coupld minutes. I roll it, because i like the smoother cloudy result. Loved this video......my husband would KILL me if i did this in the new formal kitchen!!!!! Richard
I’ve just starting dyeing my own fabric. I tried natural dyeing first with black beans. It was fun to play and just see what I would get. I then tried Rit dye but I didn’t know how to get the look yours had or thought to bake it. Instead of throwing away mistakes you can use them for full coverage projects or to make smaller pieces and work around undesirable areas.
As you ar scrunching in the pan, perhaps a towel under the glass pan? It would muffle the pan on counter rattles if you are video taping. I have a slight hearing disability and the noise of the pan is loud to me and have trouble hearing you. I don’t want to miss any of your instruction! Thank you for considering the suggestion. Thank you, I learned a great deal!
Love your video, very thorough, easy to follow and clear visuals. I’m excited to try your techniques. Do you have any plans to do written instructions to go along with your video, it would be very helpful? Lastly, do you have any other videos? Good job!
Hello Brenda - I just came across your video as I am interested in starting to dye my own fabric. Your tutorial is the best one I have seen, and I wanted to thank you for showing how to get the 2 different looks from the same dye. So informative! 👍
I am so excited to try this tomorrow! I went to my local cross-stitch store and almost fainted when I saw the cost of hand-dyed evenweave! This will be a great way for me to have a truly hand-dyed, unique fabric to stitch on. I am the same where I started stitching when I was 14, stopped for a bit, then started up again until I had kids. Now that they are older, I am stitching again on my first project in years. Thank you for a great video that was informative and also made me feel connected.
What wonderfully dyed fabrics. They are beautiful. You are a very likeable person. Your instructions are clear and thorough . I wish you'd make ,more videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Fabulous video. Very well done and easy to understand. I learned a lot. I have as much rit dye as you and have been planning to dye some of my stitching cloth. Also, I think the goof-up was serendipity. Thank you for your generous knowledge. I know I speak for many when I say we all appreciate you sharing.
Brenda, thank you so much! You are such a natural at explaining this process. I am new to cross stitching and so far only use 14 count Aida, is this the count your daughter is doing? She is doing a beautiful job. If I dye Aida will it soften the fabric up? Can you dye color on color fabric or does it have to be white?
I need help! I'm trying to figure out how to hand dye aida fabric differently. I'm wanting to go from a dark shade of purple to light purple and then blue. IN a linear fashion. Any tips??
I love both ways!!
Great tutorial! Thanks!
Is there a reason you couldn't just dye the blotchy aida black? I could never throw aida away, it would hurt my heart lol
Such a helpful and informative video. Thank you! And I kind of like the red spots on the first batch of fabrics. I think it would make for a good halloween project.
Thanks for all the tips! Especially for the boo-boo you made. That helped a lot.
Thank you.. so clear and I really want to try it now.
First time on your channel for me and I really am encouraged to try dying my own fabric.

I just found your video! Thank you so much for showing the different methods. Plus showing the mistake that probably many of us will do when starting.
What a great tutorial m, thank you so much. I really want to try this
Wonderful tutorial! You gave me the confidence to try to dye my own fabric. Nicely done! Many thanks!
What temperature did you set the oven at?

Great video
Loved your dying method!
Did you ever do multiple layers of colour?
Wonderful video; best one I've seen! Can't wait to try this.
Can you save the leftover dye for the next time?
And your pattern/dyed material selections are delightful!
Would love to see you try dyeing with 2 and 3 colors!

Love your chocolate bunnies! Have the pattern and now know it will be on Aquamarine blue with some tan added in!
