Hand Painted Specialty Fabrics
Our goal is to create an unique fabric on which to stitch that special project, by hand painting with fabric dye rather than immersion in a dye bath.
Each piece of fabric is washed to remove sizing, soaked in an activator to help it better take the dye, then laid out flat and painted, carefully blending several colors to achieve a subtle mottling. It then cures for 24-48 hours, after which it is washed and rinsed several times to remove excess dye. After drying and ironing by hand, it is ready for your needle and thread and of course your imagination.
