Once you've decided on the kind of fabric you want to dye you may then move on with the dyeing process. Each kind of fiber you want to dye requires different dyes and different methods for the <a href="http://dyesforfabric.com/">fabric dyeing process</a>. I use Procion MX dyes so will be covering them here.
I have divided up the fabric dyeing steps for my projects into sections that can be done separately when you have time (split over a few days if you like) or all in a row. I have things that I do that only take a little while every day so I'll see the progress without having the projects take up time from my list of regular activities that need to be sorted on a daily basis.
I do triple dyed fabrics that I use for designer jackets or to strip into narrow pieces that I do rag weaving with for my jackets. The commonest fabric I use is cotton , however , I also use silk and linen. For these types of fibers I use the Procion MX dyes and have developed extensive recipes for my use so I can produce similar fabric colors each time if I am doing a short production run for a store.
If somebody wants a garment but the store doesn't have the purchasers size, I will create the fabric and the garment to fit the customer in the same color blend and range the customer liked and ordered. The buyer knows it will not be the precise pattern but the range of color tones they are choosing so they are pleased with the one of a kind results.
Then decide what size pieces of fabric you need for the projects you hope to use your dyed fabrics in. That could be for applique, pieced quilting or for making garments. The piece size will give you what you have to use to start the project. Once you know the kinds of fabrics you wish to dye and the types of dyes that are the right ones to be used, you can gather your fabrics, dyes and equipment and you are almost ready to start in on an exciting and fun experience.
