Dyed Snippets Pictures

 In march I dyed snippets in a variety of colours. This included cotton, silk, linen, lace, close- weave and open- weave fabrics, buttons and threads.



The varying colours came not just from different coloured dyes but the fact that different materials have a different up-take of the dye.


The snippets were placed in a pleasing manner with some fabrics overlapping. It was then joined together with embroidery stitches in matching and contrasting threads.


I made three altogether and you can see them above.
I had lots of snippets left over so I am going to use them in making bobbin rolls.
