Fabric Dyeing.....Microwave Style

The Permission 2 Play group 

gathered together to 

Dye Fabric in the Microwave!

Just a couple of minutes in the microwave...

your fabrics are dyed and ready to wash and dry!

The microwave heats them well above 

140 degrees.

Let's unpack and get ready for class...

The students will be dyeing:

Flour Sack Dish Towels

Fat Quarter sized Fabric

Bamboo Socks

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!
