How to Dye Your Own Fabric

Who are 'they' and why do they love it?They are my wife, her women's group and another lady that runs a foundation that teaches under-educated women how to become self-sufficient. We live in Thailand where there are many women, mostly single mothers, without a viable means to support themselves. One of the foundations here has been quite successful for several years in helping women though teaching them sewing and how to run a cottage industry.When I showed my wife Margo's book on how to dye, she became very - yes very - excited. After a bit of recruiting friends for a girls craft event that was a huge success, the next step seemed natural. Take what they learned to the foundation.This book is so well organized, well written, and complete it was the only resource they used to add a complete section to their training at the foundation.

I like how the author teaches. I wish she would write a book about how to fix my car, because I think she make that seem easy as well. She has a great style. “Once you get the hang of dyeing, you can create whatever colour you want and even a good many that you didn’t want – at first . . . ” A book like this is always better with some light humor. How to Dye Your Own Fabric by Margo Price is very well done, thorough and teaches you just what it says. It’s all you need. Five stars.

This is one of the best books I've come across, that really teaches you how to dye your own fabrics. I picked up dyeing as a hobby, and was really drawn towards tie and dye work. But I did not necessarily have the information about equipment, color mixes, what kind of colors exist and which fabric if best suited for what kind of color. I learnt all of that and much more in this book. I LOVE the color wheel and the different projects/ideas that the authors have shared. I know what I am doing all summer now!

How to Dye Your Own Fabric is a solid well written guide that covers everything you need to understand about dying your fabric. The author takes her personal experience and backs it up with credible links to ensure the reader is getting all the correct information. She adds personality which makes the guide that much better in my opinion.I think you should grab this book and let the author know what you think. Good Stuff!

This book gave easy instruction, simple measurements, practical guidance. Well worth the time, and adding this book to your library.

I'm new to dyeing and I didn't dye anything yet. I was unsure on how to begin because I didn't have a clear picture in my mind about the process. This book turned out to be extremely helpful guide. It contains very simple and clear steps with useful pictures of the ingredients and the process.I recommend this guide to anybody who is looking for comprehensive dyeing instructions.

I been learning quite a lot from Margo Price. I love the experience he brings to the industry. Definitely worth it if you are in this type of craft .

Informative and well put together eBook that completely delivers. If this is a subject you are interested in don't hesitate to snap up this smart, nicely priced book.

Excellent book for the beginner fabric dyer. The basics explained simply and clearly, recipes of dye baths also included to show how to dye to achieve particular results. Easy to follow and very useful.

Once again Margo Price has demonstrated her complete mastery of all things textile in this, her latest book. Clear and concise, every page contains solid information and expert tips to encourage you to have a go, and how to do it properly. The logical layout is easy to follow, and assumes no prior knowlege on behalf of the reader. If you are trying fabric dyeing for the first time, or looking to improve your techniques, this is the only book you're going to need! Highly recommended.

A very good book on dyeing at home. I shall put everything into practice. Only thing I did not like was that the steps was mentioned every time a new colour batch was done. So we have 2 to 3 pages of instructions repeated when one should have been enough. It was the same steps. Anyway, I still liked the book and highly recommend it.

A really good book , everything you need to know to dye your own fabric. Very well written and very informative.

Exactly what I was looking for. A straight forward and accessible guide to dyeing with Procion MX powders. The only thing lacking is a suppliers list.
