Dye Another Day
Get into Patchwork Interactive's latest release "Dye Another Day" featuring one of Australia's most renowned fabric dyers, Michelle Steel.
On a single CD-rom, Michelle leads you through a step-by-step workshop to hand dyeing fabric.
Packed with information, this interactive workshop teaches you everything you need to know to get started dyeing your own fabric, whether it be for dedicated quilters or for hobbyists.
You will learn basic theory on colours, chemicals and preparation before Michelle takes you through 10 different dyeing processes.
There is a free pattern valued at $17 that you can print from the CD to create a wonderful coloured quilt from the fabric you have dyed in the workshop. A gallery of Michelle's work is also featured to inspire your creativity.
The CD will play automatically on PC or MacIntosh, requires no installation and is priced at only $59.95. An equivalent three-day workshop would cost you triple that amount, and this way you don't even need to leave the house.
The release of "Dye Another Day" coincides with the new "Hobby in a Box" starter kits. They not only include the "Dye Another Day" CD, but all the tools and dyes you'll need to get you started. It's an absolute creative feast and ideal for beginners.
