What a Square!

Dyeing small squares of fabric is an wonderful way of playing with colour. It is so much easier to control the flow of the dye on the fabric with small squirt bottles. 

Also one can try out so many different folding techniques.

I like to buy up vintage thick white cotton sheets (even better if they are ex hotel as they are good quality) and rip them into squares or oblongs. 

There are endless ways to be creative with them. I have covered notebooks with them, framed some pieces,cushion covers, ribbons, pillow cases, border strips, edging, patchwork, visible bias binding The possibilities are endless.
