Starting a New Project

I still do work on the jeans bags from denim collages, because I want to have them finally finished. The remaining panels are cut to the right size, now linings have to be prepared. I hope to find some time for that during the next week.

Cutting, sewing and finishing those bags, I´m a bit absentminded, thinking about a new project. It develops in my head and partly also in my sketchbook. Nothing is too certain by now, I´m sure only about one thing – I need a neutral background. After checking my stash and some e-shops, I decided to dye my background fabric myself.

After the decision was made, I ordered some natural cotton. To get some variability in texture, I chose for muslin, canvas, double gauze and cotton bobbinet. And here they were, delivered very quickly.

In the drugstore I bought some dyes - beige, orange and brown. 

Yesterday afternoon our kitchen became a dyer workshop.

It was very windy outside, so the pieces of fabrics were dry almost instantly.

I´m very happy about the results, it´s precisely what I need!
