UPDATE:I just dyed the scarf. It is actually really pretty. No special expertise here--just painted stripes with the dye. Then I did a few spatters. I think I really will wear it. I also had to go online a buy some more scarves. Now if I just learn to quilt---then I might be able to use all my newly dyed fabrics. I am trying to follow Chrissie Grace's blog on making an easy quilt so maybe I will learn.
Why did I do this? I really don't know...Do I know what I am doing---no,not really...and was it fun?---yes! and very messy! I have been thinking about dying some fabric for fibers to go in books and maybe for sewing a little wall hanging or something. (when I learn how to do that...) I used a very old sheer tablecloth and that turn out pretty good but the best and brightest was the cotton muslin. I did buy a silk white scarf for painting so maybe I will just put some color on it and wear it! Scarves are very "in" now---and my neck is quickly going down so maybe I should make several!
