Hey everyone I got some new stash today.
Can you guess what project this is for? ;). Surprisingly I had all the other colors I needed so I only needed about 15. I got the fabric as well it's 28 ct white lugana 20x24. If I calculated right the design should be 14x18 leaving plenty of room. The best part is I had a gift card still so it doesn't count for sfs.
Now the question I have is what color/s should I dye the fabric? I was thinking mottled gray maybe with a tint of purple. The colors are so bright I don't want to take away from them with a bright color. I considered blue but I'm sick of stitching on blue. So what do you guys think? A lime green might be cool.
Can't wait to see your start! Green generally goes really nice with purple so I like that suggestion! I think it would also look nice on a pale yellow or lemon... :)

What project is this for? I'd have to see the picture to tell you what colour you should dye it. If it's something that's solidly stitched I wouldn't bother.
ReplyDeleteIt's for the rapunzel haed in my last post. Mostly pinks and purples
Deletewill be your birthday at 9 april?
ReplyDeleteAre you stitching the background for Rapunzel? If so, then as Dani said I wouldn't worry about dying the fabric... if not then a soft grey would be nice... or even a pale green
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you end up doing!
Hugs xx
Great new stash, Heather :-) Have fun dyeing it.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing which color you decide on.
ReplyDeleteDid you get the background removed on the pattern? Otherwise the whole thing will be covered.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I love hand-dyed fabric I only use it when some of the background is going to show, otherwise I choose a plain colour where any fabric show through will compliment the colours in the chart. Therefore, if you want to dye the fabric, I would choose a pale pink or lilac. But it's totally up to you - afterall, Paradise looks fine on the blue. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see you tea dye it, nice rustic browns or faded beiges.
ReplyDeleteGood fun!
Hmm, i'd be ornery and just dye the edges of the fabric that will be visible after stitching/framing! Soooooo a super dark purple! :D
ReplyDeleteAlso I meant to comment on your Disney posts but my Internet is not playing well lately! I think I would just die to be served a [n innocent drink of tea] on the beach by Jack Sparrow! I can just feel my husband rolling his eyes at me ahahaaa. And those artwork pictures were great and would indeed make lovely patterns.
Oh lovely collors
