This month's Moxie Fab World Fun with Fabric Challenge is to create a project that incorporates fabric in an innovative way. I don't have much fabric in my stash, but my mother-in-law did share some squares of unbleached muslin with me, so I thought I would give it a try.
I used pinking sheers to cut a strip of muslin "ribbon" and then dyed it with Terra Cotta Glimmer Mist. I used regular fabric scissors to cut another strip of muslin and then hand-stitched about 1/3" down from the top and gathered the fabric. I sprayed the gathered fabric with the same Glimmer Mist and let it dry. Then I cut the thread, unfurled the fabric, and gathered it again exposing the portions of the fabric that had not been saturated with the Mist creating sort of a tie-die effect.
The cardstock is Cosmo Cricket Fly a Kite and the sentiment is Hero Arts Essential Messages (clear embossing the India Ink helps it stand out against the floral background).
super flower. does remind me of tie dying.
Gorgeous Stef!! Love the tie dye!
