An introduction to using natural materials to make fabric dyes. The steps for each dye are set out clearly, with illustrations and photographs, enabling even total beginners can craft with confidence. There is a sense of wonder and excitement in using readily available natural materials—including onion, aubergine, flowers, and leaves—to create beautiful, colourful dyes, both delicate and dark alike. Simple ways to use your dyed fabric, such as book covers and drawstring bags, are also featured.
