Hand Dyed and Painted Fabrics

vickiwelsh's Shop Announcement

Welcome!

I love color and love creating color on fabric and clothing. Since beginning dyeing I have developed over 400 custom color recipes using Procion MX dyes. Now I use that recipe index to create custom dyed tshirts and clothing, quilt backings, fat quarter packs and fabric palettes for customers. In addition, I create one of a kind painted fabrics for art quilters, mixed media artists and crazy quilters.

In my shop you will find some of my color palette fabric packs, quilt backs and other one of a kind fabrics. I can create any of the fabric palettes in custom yardage. If it’s not in my shop just converse with me through Etsy. I love special orders!

=========== ABOUT SHIPPING =============================
I refund any shipping charges that are above the actual cost of shipping.

========== ABOUT MY HAND DYED FABRICS ==================
I use Fiber Reactive Procion MX Dyes with a low water immersion dyeing technique and vary the technique to get high and low textured fabrics. All of my fabrics are soaked once with Synthrapol in water at least 140 degrees, rinsed and Synthrapol-washed again in hot water and rinsed a final time in cold water. There are no fragrances used in any part on my process. The fabric is preshrunk and ready for you to use.

I have done color fastness testing of my general processes and find the dyes to be colorfast, however you should do a test yourself of this specific fabric to make sure it is colorfast for your washing process. I always machine wash my finished quilts with my fabrics but use a Color Catchers® or similar product as a precaution to catch any loose dyes.
