This is a guide to making household dyes sourced from grocery store ingredients and natural, foraged plants. The author Maggie Pate will go into how to extract the dye from things like beans and berries and then go on to teach the reader how to go about dying fabrics — including how to create gradients and patterning. With an accessible step-by-step format for all kinds of fabrics — notably non-synthetic material. It will teach the reader about dyes in general and present the goal to avoid harmful synthetic versions and make gradients that aren’t as readily available commercially — to make pieces that are as natural as they can be unique. The book contains 12 projects, including instructions on how to create over 25 custom colors. (This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
