Wordy Wednesdays

I came across a great deal on fabric while browsing through my favorite local shop the other day.

$1 per yard for a stretch cotton waffle weave!

At that price, how could I resist picking up a couple of yards?  No, I didn’t buy the whole bolt – I restrained myself to two yards, thank you for asking

There was a reason why it was marked down so cheap… there are some odd stains running through the fabric.  They don’t smell and didn’t really change with washing.  It almost looks like someone dropped some dye solution on the fabric.

While I don’t normally recommend trying to cover stains on fabric with dyes – these ones are so light, and the fabric was so cheap that I’m going to try.  I figure, even if it doesn’t turn out the way I’m hoping – it’s still a good learning experience, right?

I’m going to break out my favorite cold water dyes and dye half of the fabric a bright turquoise and the other half orange.  I’ll share the results after I’m finished.

Unless of course, they’re so dreadful that I will never mention it again…
