Oh my, this is addictive! I've been ripping up fabric from my collection and dyeing it in different colors, and even gone a little crazy and ordered more black and whites to dye.

Here's what I started with, and then used different pots of yellows, oranges, and reds to dip into to create different color blends. I'm trying to do it by eyeball, since I'm not a write-it-down-and-stick-to-it person.

One thing I hadn't anticipated is the result to printed fabrics that usually look whitish and ugly on the back. Over-dyeing this fabric has created a really nice look on the back.

I love over dyeing commercial fabric for new results! Your's are great!
Very excellent delicious results! Who needs to write anything down?!?!!
Very Nice!!! I haven't done much overdying, but I will definitely give it a try next time I dye plain fabric!
It must be National Dye week. Everyone is at it.
Yours look great!
That top selection is speaking to me...fabulous! I may succumb to dyeing again after all.
Oh! Oh! This is WONDERFUL! Thanks for sharing how great these turned out...it'll be fun to see how these appear in your quilts. What a great way to supplement your oranges.
By the way, did you do anything special to the fabrics you were over-dyeing before you dyed them (ie, wash them in anything special, etc.)?
you are now addicted to dyeing! you are also having way too much fun since I am stuck doing taxes today!

How neat! The colors are so beautiful and saturated. Love the sink -- I bet that makes the whole dye process so much easier.
