The Dye Kit for Sewists is perfect for someone who loves sewing and is excited to create their own fabric to sew with! Following the instructions in The Modern Natural Dyer, you will follow three different pathways in dyeing fabric: eco-printing with flowers, sewing a dress before dyeing, and dyeing fabric before sewing. 

These are the projects included:

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
