22 students in class today
Everyone was having so much FUN
we didn't get many photos taken
during class.....sorry.
Here is Kae with her flour sack dish towel
66 fiber items were dyed in a 3 hour class...
The students took their dyed items home
in ziploc baggies.
At home, they washed them in hot water
and dried them.
I hope they bring them to class next month for
show 'n tell so we can see what they created!
