I love teal too - it's always among the colours I say when asked my favourite colour (I can never keep it to one colour) The dyeing story is to die for - it's a lot trickier than it looks, but I never remember adding salt - must be a different product. Good result after all that workKiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117701411454242866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212039788198626266.post-22432210124316932292016-04-27T06:33:06.413-05:002016-04-27T06:33:06.413-05:00I love your description of trying to dye the bag, ...I love your description of trying to dye the bag, really made me chuckle I could just imagine it all but wow didn't it turn out well!!? I had an old bag I didn't like and gave it to my friend and she dyed it and it became a gorgeous bag and when I saw it I was quite jealous I hadn't thought of doing it!! It was wonderful. Great twist on inchie - you are quite right an inch is really not enough to describe Big!! You always do such wonderful beading - a lot of work.JennyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223390561741696333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212039788198626266.post-42115459384072710842016-04-26T12:51:20.006-05:002016-04-26T12:51:20.006-05:00Oh wow.

I used to dye bedding in the washing machine or use cold water dye when I could - I also had a go at bead dyeing on my very first Embroiderers guild summer school trip with Anthea Godfrey, great fun but no one thought to mention to bring rubber gloves and I looked as thought I had spent the week with my hands in beetroot juice at the end of the 2 days! Took forever to get rid of :-(<br /><br />Sallysallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287900660128774538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212039788198626266.post-76562929233105342692016-04-26T05:14:40.037-05:002016-04-26T05:14:40.037-05:00How very cool did that purse turn out?!
