Customer Reviews

fast fun & easy - the title is a great summary!
I've done simple tie-dying before and thought I had "been there, done that". But this book gave me so many ideas for fun techniques that I know it'll end up as a dog-eared favorite on my shelf.

It's not just the technical information that makes this book so great; the instructions are easy to follow and the pictures are worth... more than 1000 words! (One example of great use of pictures is the comparison of printed fabrics undyed, overdyed with blue and overdyed with peach-orange.)

This is cool stuff!
My wife is a quilter and has talked about wanting to dye fabric for a long time, but she never quite got around to doing it. When I heard about this book, I bought it for her. I decided to take a look through it first and thought: Hey! This is really cool stuff. Then I realized: Hey! I could do this, too. So we used the reference section of the book, got online and ordered some dyes and fabric, and together we started trying it out. With the pictures, the instructions are so easy to follow, and we've gotten great results for everything we've tried. Now she's ready to use the book to try more things. And I'm ready to dye some of my old t-shirts to jazz them up a bit.

What a great resource book for fabric dyeing! The book explores a variety of dyeing techniques; The instructions and how to photos are clear, concise and easy to follow.

I think quilters often shy away from dyeing their own fabric because they think it is difficult and time consuming. Fast, Fun and Easy Fabric Dyeing demonstrates that the process can be exactly as the title claims -Fast, Fun and Easy, and the results extremely rewarding.

Everything you need to know to dye fabric is all here in one ready reference.
