Dye Kit for Sewists

The Dye Kit for Sewists is perfect for someone who loves sewing and is excited to create their own fabric to sew with!

By working on these projects you will learn:
+ the difference between fiber types
+ to naturally dye protein-based and cellulose-based fibers
+ to plan for projects
+ to work efficiently and effectively 
+ to combine natural dyeing extracts to create a wide-range of color
+ which plants found in the garden and forest make great dye plants
