For crafty people, choosing to dye your own fabric is another stage in the creative process of producing original hand-made items. This guide shows you some of the ways in which fabric can be coloured quickly and easily, with minimal upheaval at home. It includes familiar tie dyeing, dip dyeing and marbling, where the results are predictable, as well as the more random space-dyeing techniques where the unpredictability of the finish is part of the charm and appeal of the method. The book includes plenty of projects to make that will show your fabric to best effect. There are ideas that will revamp the soft furnishings in a room, such as a devor blind, a comforting throw, lampshades, tablerunners, napkins and duvet covers. For those who enjoy more intricate work, there are patchwork and embroidery projects in a vibrant array of colours and there are plenty of small-scale items for those new to the craft such as lavender bags and headbands, even a contemporary cover for a hot water bottle.
