Dyeing for the Antique Sampler Look

Imagine dyeing your own linen and stitching a sampler that looks antique as soon as it’s finished! In this class, students learn to dye linen and cotton floss to achieve an “aged” look. Students will learn a variety of techniques to produce variegated results and also tips on stitching with over dyed threads.

1 day class for all levels.

A Dyeing Day Spend the entire day dyeing cotton threads, linen fabric and silk ribbon with emphasis on delicate shading and gradients, antique sampler palettes, and backgrounds. 1 day class for all levels
