Hi Erin! Thank you very much for the great video. This is very helpful. I have never coffee dyed anything yet, but want to give it a try soon. I am doing some investigating on you tube to try to learn how to do it successfully. Your fabrics all turned out nice! Wish me luck! TFS Happy Creating! Samantha
Thanks for the tutorial, it was great to see the process. I think my favorite was that last fabric too. And can I just compliment you on how clean and clutter free your kitchen is! Mine has never ever been like that! I can only wish!
Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And I would love to take credit for the kitchen but it's all my husband. He does not like clutter and helps me keep it clean otherwise it would never look like that on my own 😂 but thank you!
Hi Erin. Thanks for the video. Really liked the vanilla cherry ones too. I think the dark spots are actually from the rack itself. That happened to me one time when I set the fabric scrunched up on my metal dish rack in my sink. Might be a reaction of the metal and the acid from the dying. I’m going to try some different teas too to see what colors I get. Stay safe. ❤️
Thank you! I honestly didn't even think about it being a reaction from the dying. That makes sense to me! I'm terrible to not know the science behind all of it but I will definitely not put them on the racks to dry next time. Lesson learned 😂 still I want to go buy more of that vanilla red and dye some more orange pieces. I love it!
Erin! Oh My Gosh!!! 😂 This was a GREAT tutorial! I think colors came out really well, but especially the orange ones...those are going to work really well for Halloween projects, don’t you think? 👻 Thank you so much for taking the time to show us these techniques...it was great fun! 💕 Meline
Thank you!! I'm so excited to find the right piece for it. I'm just in love with the color. Hope you give it a try, too! I'm already planning my next dye.
Oh, you're so sweet!! Our house was built in the 1800's and we completely renovated a few years ago. We're so proud of it and my husband will love that compliment.
Great video Erin. Instead of putting the fabric in the oven, could it be put directly into the dryer? I like the modeling you get from baking it but may not want that look every time. Thanks for your great explanation on your process. Take care.
So the oven will give you the marble look and darken a bit more but you could lay flat and put in the oven for less time if you want to get a little darker with no marble. I don't see why you couldn't just pull it out and dry it but I've never tried. If you do it, let me know! I'd love to know the results 😊
I'm so terrible because I don't understand what the science is behind any of it. I'm not sure if that helps me or not but it's always worth experimenting! Good luck and let me know!
Awesome!! I am wondering if I were to bake in some steel bowls I have vs baking sheet if that would have a negative affect?? I have some red hibiscus tea that I might have to try this with. I remember years ago I would grunge up fabric by wetting it and then scrubbing it with instant coffee or flecking it with a toothbrush dipped in a very strong water to instant coffee ratio. Stronger than the whipped coffee ratio even! Lol
The baking really just provided the marble and burnt edge look. I'm actually not sure what doing that in a bowl would do! Is it safe to put in the oven? If so, I say give a try on a small piece of fabric and see what happens. I love experimenting with this stuff!
Had trouble hearing you as you were explaining the different teas! What was the red tea and the third one. I’ve only used black tea and coffee! Never thought to use other ones. Good for you!
The red is an organic red vanilla (www.prestogeorge.com/proddetail.asp?prod=032VANIL) and the last one was organic peppermint. Both from a store called Prestogeorge in the strip district of Pittsburgh. Sorry about the audio!! I was trying so hard to be good about sound. One of these days I'll figure it out!
Thank you for the great video! I have never dyed fabric but I want to! They all came out beautiful! I like the specs too! I have a question, is the fabric really stiff where it gets more browned? Just wondering...thanks!
Hi Erin, that is great. I was thinking they might get a little 'crispy' lol! I'm so glad that they don't! I'm definitely going to try it...I really love how the red tea piece came out! So pretty! Thanks again!
Have you seen ink circles MAP SAL? I think it was last year, but it's still on fb, (the Mysterious Adventure Project) I did mine on tea and coffee dyed fabric so it looks like an old map! Zoe xx
What about the fabric shrinking? I want to dye some 28count Lugana that is very small for me when I stitch so I am not sure if I will be able to stitch if it shrinks up! 😍
Lol. I really thought it was the name of fabric. There is a 27 count fabric called Linda so I thought there might be a fabric called Geri. Lol my name is Linda. So I have a couple large pieces of Gerri fabric as well. Lol thanks for tutorial. Enjoy mania. I love the friendship you girls share and bonus you all love Stitching. 😊
Erin thank you for taking the time to share your process of tea dying it was great 👍 I love the red tea result!
Thank you!! I hope you give it a try!
Awesome tutorial!!! Love the colors you got!!!!! Cannot wait to try some more dyeing with special teas to see what colors I can get! Thanks~!
Thank you!! I'd love to see the results you get! Good luck!
Great video....love your new fabrics. Have fun stitching on them.
Thanks so much!! I'm anxiously searching for the perfect piece for the orange as we speak 😂
Erin thank you so much for this tutorial. I liked seeing the different colors that resulted from the different dying methods.

Thanks for this video! Inspired me to do my first try at coffee and tea dyeing. Sharing to my little FB group :)
LMAO, when you told your google to set a timer for 20 min, my google set a timer! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for a great tutorial!
Hahaha I'm happy to hear my voice was commanding enough to be picked up 😂
Thanks for sharing 💙 now give us a tour of your beautiful kitchen 😄
Oh, you're so sweet!! Our house was built in the 1800's and we completely renovated a few years ago. We're so proud of it and my husband will love that compliment.
@@erincaton1655 welcome 😊
I’m watching this tutorial and when Erin set her Google timer, it activated my Google timer 😂😂

I have used parchment paper on my cookie sheet. I am going to try foil, maybe that will make it a little more marbled.

Thank you! And, no, actually, everything really softens up in the process which is another major bonus. Even in the dark spots.

Um, holy smokes!!!!! I'm now obsessed with this!! We are a d&d household and this is amazing. Thank you sooooo much!!

What is the fabric you call Jerry or Geri fabric? Just curious. I have never heard of any fabric called that. Thanks now to finish video!😊
Haha it's fabric that a very generous neighbor named Gerri gave me when she gave up stitching. I have yards of it that I'm working through.
Lol. I really thought it was the name of fabric. There is a 27 count fabric called Linda so I thought there might be a fabric called Geri. Lol my name is Linda.

I mean, maybe I'll trademark it 😂 I'm so glad you enjoy our videos! I'm so incredibly lucky to call those girls my friends. They are amazing humans.
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
