Tie-dyeing

Tie-dyeing is so much fun, first folding up all the squares origami-style....boiling the fabric pieces in the dye, and then unfolding all the parcels, to see the patterns.
I fell in love with the kelly green straight away, the light/dark variations were obvious.
The "lilac" dye seemed really dark when I unwrapped the squares, I was worried that all the squares would be solid purple. Fortunately after rinsing, drying and ironing, the fabric revealed it's patterns. The lilac looks more like blue in the photo though, the pink shade isn't showing up.
