Threads to Dye For Workshop February 5th Sydney


 I am running my Threads to Dye For Workshop at my home studio in Lewisham Sydney on Saturday morning 5th February. This workshop will teach you all you need to know to dye your own beautiful threads and yarns to embellish your work.

All dyes, threads and even a metre of fabric and cupcakes are provided - you just need to bring gloves and a container to bring them home in.

Looking forward to seeing some of you here.

Threads to Dye For


I have a new workshop called Threads to Dye For.

We will spend a few hours playing with and dyeing a variety of threads and I am running it in my home studio in Sydney on December 4th.

Just think of all the gorgeous stitching you could do with a selection like this. Or you could even make up bundles of hand dyed threads for your quilting friends as a gift.

Contact me if you are interested in joining in the fun.

Hand Dyed Threads


I subscribe to Linda and Laura Kemshalls Design Matters TV and I have to say that it is one of the best investments I have ever made. These two ladies have probably had more influence on me than any other textile artists.

The videos are varied and interesting and I just feel that I am sitting there in the room with them.

I was thrilled when the latest ones were about dyeing skeins of thread as I really wanted to do some and have a few boxes of Perle 5 cottons just waiting for the day.

Well - thanks to Laura's great instructions I now have the start of a great collection.
