I've been meaning to dye this plain white shirt with Dharma's New Emerald Procion dye for a few weeks now and finally got it done. It's a gorgeous green and now I have something in the color of the year! And I was very happy that the threads turned out to be cotton so that they also took up the dye. See this past post for a tutorial on dying with Procion fiber reactive dyes.
I'm still working on the project I made the crochet thread poppies for - these are the leaves. I'll have a tutorial for them probably next week!
Happy Creating! Deborah
