Blueberry dyed fabric
After reading Carolyn's blog at the weekend, and knowing that I had blueberries in the fridge past their sell by date, I had ago at using them for dyeing. The hardest bit has been the wait- but it was worth it. The fabric and threads are a lovely soft heather colour.(sorry forgot to take a picture of the threads. Fabrics used from top to bottom :-

These are beautiful colours Sharne.
Oh Sharne, I just left a message on your post at the top before I read down to this post! Silly me!
The blueberries worked a treat. I love the effect you achieved, very natural. How many days did you leave your fabrics in the jar?
