I finally get to show this off. I did my very first flatfold and sent it to a good friend in Germany.
Here is my two day progress on my Fall SAL. Worked on this for two day's. The color of the fabric really doesn't show very well. I found a new way to dye fabric and must say I like it allot better then the rite dye. I can pick the color a lot better to get the effect I want. There is a brown splotch in the fabric and i love it but it was totally an accident.  I'm leaving it in. Here is my new discovery on dying fabric. I measured out my fabric cut it and then soaked it in a small bath of hot vinegar and water. Soaked for about 30 minuets Then took fabric paint and diluted it a bunch.It was like the water you wash your paint brush out in.Took fabric from vinegar bath and soaked it in the paint water. Ironed dry
Now if you do this you will wanna clean your iron with vinegar right away. The paint will come right off.
I got my Green color exchnage in the mail the other day. My partner was a really good friend of mine Cherie. When she found out that I was her partner she added some Eeyore stuff for me. Very sweet of her I thought.Thank you Cherie for everything.

I just love your flat fold and the stitching is beautiful too! I'll bet your friend is going to treasure it.

Well done on your flat fold. Still haven't tried this kind of finishing but hopefully someday will try one too.
Your dyed fabric looks great.

Great job on the flat-fold, Dawn, Heidi will love it. Your Fall SAL looks cute, especially with the home made hand dyed fabby. Do you wash your pieces after you stitch them? If so, does the dye lighten since you're not using rite dye? And congrats on the green exchange pkg you received, lots of goodies from Cherie. :-) Lisa S
