Use for Hand Dyed Fabric

I have spent many happy hours in Susan Brooks garage in Lafayette, CO, doing all kinds of surface designs from soy wax resist, immersion dying, eco dying, fabric painting, batik, deconstructed screen printing — basically, any technique that you can think of, Susan can teach you.  And she is a FABULOUS instructor.

But what to do with all this original fabric?

It's been sitting on my shelf for some time and then it was summer and sitting on my black scooter seat burned my butt!  So, I started looking around for someone who could make me a scooter seat from my own fabric and found her!  

Her name is Suzy and her company is called Cheeky Seats.  (Don't you love that name?)  So, I sent her my fabric and this is what she made.  It fit perfectly.  I didn't have any lime green fabric to match my scooter so I sent her something neutral.  But now, I night have to paint my scooter to match the seat.

Hmmmm.  Another internet search is in my future.  

​If you have made your own fabric, how have you used it?  Let me know!

I must have missed reading this post until today (8/13/18). Your little green scooter is awesome! Glad you got a seat cover made from your original fabric. What fun to tool around on that thing!

It's funny that I should stumble upon this post today. For months, I have been preparing cotton and silk fabric using various Shibori resist techniques. While I thoroughly enjoyed the process, my ultimate goal was indigo dyeing, and today, I succeeded with that endeavor.

However, I have no idea what I'm going to do with all of it.:) Boro jacket or quilt??

All of your surface design classes sound like a dream come true, and I love that you've used your work for a very practical application. The seat looks great to boot. Perhaps, you will need to add some of your artistic talent to your scooter's paint job as well.;)
