Burda Style For people who sew

Rinse and Wash: After 60 minutes, dyeing is complete. Remove fabric from dye bucket and pour the exhausted dye bath down the drain. Rinse fabric thoroughly in a bucket of room temperature 75o to 95oF (24o to 35oC) water. Change the rinse water 3 to 4 times. Wash in HOT 140oF (60oC) water, adding a few drops of Synthrapol, (or soft soap). Rinse well and dry. Dark colors may need a second HOT Synthrapol wash. If the rinse water is not clear, then wash it again in HOT water with Synthrapol. Once your fabric is washed out, you may begin to carefully cut apart the stiches.

  Beautiful. It would be fun to try this the opposite way. Use a dark fabric, then immerse it in color remover or bleach.

  Beautiful and inspiring technique! I suppose you can use it also with natural dyes? Like from berries or similar?
