Last week I saw information on over dyeing commercial black and white fabrics in a few places. I thought it was really neat that you could take some black and white fabric and turn it into something completely brand new with some time and some dyes. Yesterday I set out to give it a try. I pulled out some smaller pieces of fabrics I had laying around from Joann’s and I put them in low water dye baths. I did one with Bahama Blue dye and the other with Raspberry.
Here are the fabrics before…
And here are the fabric after…
I think that’s pretty cool! I would definitely do it again because I don’t often quilt with black and white fabrics and this is a way to use up the few pieces I have by turning them into something colorful.
Have a great Tuesday!

So fun, Sandi! I love what you did!
I’m a particular fan of the black one! I have been wanting to do the same but haven’t wanted to go back down into the cold of my basement lately… I’ll get there!
I love the way it came out! I agree qith Sandy, that black one sings! I also like the pink, but the black is just right there!
