About this Event
Explore easy methods to dye fabric using foods and other basic household materials while also learning how to take sewing into your own hands. In this workshop, we will first walk through the basics of dyeing cotton with natural dyes. We will learn the fundamentals of stitching through hand sewing potholders and coasters with the fabrics we dye together. This workshop will be a two-part experience taking place on back-to-back Saturdays. Participants will take home their finished product and extra materials to create more! The ticket price covers both workshops!
