Dying the silk.

I put dyes it in an atomiser and spray the silk (the empty bottle from Body Shop Vit E Face mist is ideal)....any kind of dye works though I do have a few silk dyes. I find I get a subtle result and don't need to go through the entire dying rigmarole.

I didn't even make it to the sewing machine today which is a shame but Geoff is out tonight so perhaps I will get in there to play.

Have you tried re ironing the piece to get it to restick? I bought one of those five needled needle felting things....used it once now can't find it! I have friends with embellisher machines that are into needle felting everything. I wonder if you would get bored wiith one of those machines? I doubt I could lose it!!!
