You achieve such a great prim color with your dyeing, I can't stand the smell of coffee so keep experimenting. The word pillows are so sweet! Hi to Drew, the IT guy.
I just found your Flosstube and really enjoyed it! I love that Drew “antiqued” his car with great ingenuity! Thanks for sharing your tips on dyeing fabric!
I just found your channel and have subscribed. Thank you for showing us easy easy dying. I love primitive Stitching and every time I watch Floss Tube‘s theyvmake dying process so confusing and so many steps and so on. For some reason, I never thought to dye after I stitch. I always tried to dye before I started Stitching and it makes so much sense to do it after. So thank you so much for that. So since it’s a rainy day here in Savannah, Georgia, I am going to take some time and watch some of your previous and newer videos.
I strive for simple! And I like to dye my projects after stitching because I like to make the whole thing look primitive. Just make sure your thread is colorfast. I've never had any trouble with DMC. Thank you for watching us!
I enjoyed your video and thank you for the demonstrations! Hi to Drew and it made me smile that he has picked up on rusty and crusty. Luv your pillows😍
You mentioned Nate Berkus linen at JoAnns. The clerk said they don’t carry it. Online looks like there is something in the upholstery dept. Is that where you got yours? I don’t want to be a bother but your pieces are lovely. Barb😊
Thank you so much for the dye demo….i have the same jewelry box that I have made into a stitching box…I love seeing how different people have made them,I find it to be so convenient it travels with me everywhere that I take my stitching..your designs are delightfully Prim. I just finished Olde Crows and will be showing it on the Facebook group.. Drew you are very creative the love how you junked up the Explorer…
I'd love to see your stitching box. I love seeing how other people do their boxes too! And I love to see how other people finishes my patterns so I'll look for your Olde Crows finish. Thanks for watching us!
I just stumbled upon your video and I'm so glad I did. I'm going to look for that fabric next time I'm at Joanne's. I loved your son's contribution. We're a former homeschool family. (Mine are all grown and homeschooling their own kiddos.) I'm definitely subscribing and looking forward to watching your next video.
I just discovered your floss tube!! It was great and I really liked your dying process. I subscribed and look forward to future floss tubes and watching your previous ones ❤
I usually buy a jar of $1.25 instant coffee& teabags from dollar tree. Never thought to use a small paintbrush! Almost 70 in Ohio yesterday….cold with snow flurries & high winds today! It’s crazy
A Dollar Tree just opened up in our town. I'll have to get buy instant coffee there now! It was cold here again yesterday and last night but it's warming up today. It has been crazy! And the high winds - I do not enjoy!
I just found your videos and really enjoying them! Thank you for sharing all your projects….I just ordered some Nate Berkus linen from Joann’s. Hopefully my projects will look as nice as yours. We live in southern Iowa also ….the weather has been wonderful!
I hope you like the Nate Berkus fabric. It's pretty much all I use anymore. I'm sure your projects will look just as good if not better than mine! The weather has been so nice - but a little too windy today! Thanks for watching!
Your box looks great! One thing to think about, is since you used ModPodge, wouldn't it melt in the camper when it's super hot in the summer? My camper gets over 100 degrees in the summer, when it's in storage. I wouldn't want you to open the box and find a sticky mess. I did a wooden box for my punch needle supplies, but it has turned into a junk box! LOL I'll have to show it on my flosstube. Rusty crusty is a good thing on crafts Drew, but I wouldn't want it on my car. :) You've got a bunch of new subscribers! We'll have to do another live stream in a few weeks. Probably when I get back from PA.
I hadn't thought of that Doreen. And I will definitely keep an eye out. Those campers do get hot in the summer. I probably won't be able to keep them in the camper. I'll have to pack them along with my project bags. Thanks for thinking of that! These will probably turn into junk boxes too. That never fails to happen around here. I would love to see your wooden box. I've been on the lookout for something like that that is long enough to store the needle threaders in! Yes, please, lets do another live stream! Have a great trip!
Thank you for sharing your dyeing process I’ve never used walnut crystal before I’m going to have to give it a try. Love your new designs. The travel box came out perfect great idea. Have a wonderful evening and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩 the bee 🐝 is so adorable ❤
Walnut crystals give more of a brown color that I like. I'm wanting to try making my own dye with all the black walnuts we have around here! Happy stitching to you!
Thank you Ronda for showing how your dye fabric. I usually just use coffee but usually it's kinda gold instead of brown. I have walnut crystals on order to try. I like your word pillows, so will be ordering soon. Good work on your truck Drew.😊
It was nice visiting with you all! I love that bee punch needle! Your boxes are very cute and nifty. Tell Drew my husband has some old toy farm equipment that Malia enjoyed when she was younger displayed on a shelf in his garage. Drew did a good job antiquing his car. Malia also says older things have character. I love that our kids appreciate that.
I agree with Malia - older things have character. They have a story to tell! Punch needle gives me a break from cross stitch. You can finish something quickly!
Good top see another video, here in Minnesota it is a cold 17 degrees, 60s tomorrow. Thank-you for showing how to dye I have never done that, you made it look easy thank-you. We did miss you both. Your word pillows are lovely. Spring Blessings with the blue really makes the design pop. Drew: Is that Batman cup? just curious. I also like the sound of punch needle, your bumble bee is adorable. Lovely job on the jewelry box. Cute scissor fob, Drew: The rust looks great, you are very creative, thank-you for sharing.
This weather is crazy isn't it??!! It is so easy to dye - just a little scary the first few times! Drew's cup is actually a black cat with the ears sticking up. And there's a little cat inside. It's cute. Thank you for watching!
This was another GREAT video you & your son did! I’m going to try your method of dyeing but first I need to order some walnut crystals. Thank You so much for demonstrating your method! I was very impressed with your bee punch needle. It kind of made me want to try it. I’ve never tried it before. 😊❤️
Thanks for the dyeing tutorial and sharing your projects and box. I am so disappointed - after jumping through some hoops, got the NB fabric from Joann, but find I am unable to stitch on it. These 72 year old eyes just can’t seem to manage the 36 count. Sadly I guess I’ll have to stick with Aida and evenweave. Drew YOU have a lot of character, young man!
Darn. Maybe you can use the fabric for something else. I made my Stitching Chickens out of it and embroidered on it. It worked great for that! Thanks for watching us!
Oh I loved those chickens, I’ll have to go back and see what the pattern is. Great suggestion! Or I might make some pillows. But I will try again first. Thanks so much Rhonda.@@AsberysEchoesStitches
Great video! I was wondering what your process was for coffee/tea dyeing . It really gives your projects a great prim look. Thanks for sharing about my shop 😊
Hello from Canada. Thx for showing your dyeing process. My question is when your fabric dries after the dyeing does it dry lighter in colour or stay about the same colour as when it’s wet. Just found your channel today and have subscribed. See you next time.
Hi. Thank you very much for sharing your dyeing technique. I followed your instructions for dyeing one of my finished pieces. Actually it is the "Dough Bowls" one that you designed. I let it dry for two days and then I went to my iron to press it. That worked out fine. But then I went to steam press some interfacing, the steam caused the dye to run. I guess I shouldn't be surprised because it is water, but I was wondering if perhaps I shouldn't use sizing. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.
Yes - the coffee dye isn't a permanent dye and if it gets wet it will run. I rarely iron and I've never used interfacing. You could try rinsing it out and letting it dry and see how it looks. You could also try redyeing after you rinse. It will be a different look than what you had but I'm guessing it will look really prim. I mentioned on my last video with my Quiet Life stitch I had left it out on the dining room table and Drew had been using a straw and sprayed some water so that stitch has some water spots. I just left it like that. I have gotten so many comments on the dye job on that one. People don't realize it was a mistake. It just looks more prim!
Thank you for dyeing tutorial! Really helpful. Could you tell me the name of the fabric you use from Joann’s so I have it correctly? I would really like to my like to purchase some. Thank you! (Is it the upholstery flaxen old country linen?)
Help!! The Nate Berkus linen is sold out. There is only the upholstery one left. Is there another idea for a non traditional source of linen that’s more affordable?
I use the Nate Berkus Upholstery Fabric 54" Flaxen Old Country Linen. It looks like it's in stock on line and on sale for $37.49 a yard. It's pricey but you do get a 54" piece of fabric so you get a lot. It is upholstery fabric but it works great for stitching!
I love the little chicken wall hanging behind you.
Thank you! I love all things chicken! That is a Cinnamon Creek Folkart design if you want to make one. You can find her on Etsy!
You achieve such a great prim color with your dyeing, I can't stand the smell of coffee so keep experimenting. The word pillows are so sweet! Hi to Drew, the IT guy.
Maybe try Rit dye and walnut crystals? I've done Rit dye, coffee, and walnut crystals before and get a nice color. Thanks for watching!
I just found your Flosstube and really enjoyed it! I love that Drew “antiqued” his car with great ingenuity! Thanks for sharing your tips on dyeing fabric!

Yes it’s an upholstery linen. It’s not made for cross stitch but I stumbled across it and love stitching on it!

Thank you for sharing your dyeing process ! How do you attach your trim ? Thanks Rhonda and Drew ! Love all your videos! Never miss one !
I hand sew my trim on. I'll try to do a tutorial on that - maybe next week! Thank you for watching us!
I just found you, I subscribed. Love your tips on dying. So nice you have your son with you, love the idea of homeschooling.

Thank you for that. I want to try colors, as I have a lot of white cross stitch fabric. Your braid is cute.
I haven't tried colors - I need to sometime! I also want to try making a natural dye using black walnuts shells. We have an abundance of them here!
Thanks for showing your travel box. I love to see how everyone designs them. All so different and so much fun.
I love to see how others finish theirs too. There are some beautiful ones out there! Thanks for watching!
Your box looks great! One thing to think about, is since you used ModPodge, wouldn't it melt in the camper when it's super hot in the summer? My camper gets over 100 degrees in the summer, when it's in storage. I wouldn't want you to open the box and find a sticky mess.

I don't know why it wouldn't work. Maybe try a small piece of the Aida and see what happens first?
Enjoyed your dying segment. The pillow are adorable. What fabric did you use? You mentioned you got it at Joann’s.
Thank you! The fabric is Nate Berkus Upholstery Fabric 54"Flaxen Old Country Linen that I order from Joann's.
