I love to over dye fabric, even Moda

     I love to over dye fabric....nothing is safe from me around here when I have the dye pot going. I had some squares left over from the Snowman Gatherings charm pack. The background was too white for me...the fabric in the middle. So I grabbed the whole stack and threw it into a dark antique champagne color I was using....and I love how antique they now look. Perfect for a couple sewing necessaries to give as gifts.  Even the blues on the top took on a nice antique look. Some times the dye effect I want is subtle and sometimes drastic as above.
      I just thought I would share that tid bit with you.....I need to get back to a Christmas pattern I am stitching (a door hanging with jingle bells). I made a few changes....good thing I was not stitching that part.....and will show it after Halloween when the chart will be ready. Sounds like another give-away coming up. Stay tuned.
     Thanks for stopping by.
