Janice's Hand-dyed Fabrics

The beauty of hand-dyed fabrics is in the wonderful variation in visual textures and tones with no two pieces being exactly alike.
All our fabrics are 100% cotton.
Janice uses fiber reactive dyes, which make the fabrics color-fast.
Unless stated otherwise, fabric is 44" wide.

  New hand-dyed fabrics added regularly...scroll all the way down to see everything.

Scroll down to place your order

  Special orders generally require an e-mail.  Describe, as best you can what you have in mind.  You can't be picky, though.  Half the fun is the adventure of the unexpected!   Price generally will be $22.00 per yard, unless you have something outrageous in mind...then we'll negotiate!  Any quantities...one yard on up.

Wide width fabrics are also available for wholecloth quilts or Hawaiian quilts.  If you can imagine it...we'll try to produce it!

We will try to accommodate special orders in 1-2 weeks, but depending upon what you are looking for, it could be 3-6 weeks.

E-mail us, tell us what you want!
Credit card number or check will be required before we begin.

Ready to special order? 

1)  Enter the amount of fabric you want:   Quantity (1 yard minimum).

2)  Describe the color you would like.  If you need more than 30 characters to describe, use the "Comments" field in the Shopping Cart, or send a separate email to describe.

  Enter description (limit 30 characters)

   3)  Press this button:    $22.00 per yard

4)  Repeat the process for additional fabrics.

(Remember, if you are asking for something out of the ordinary the price may be higher,
but this will get us started.)


We do recommend that you test the fabrics for colorfastness in your water.
After being dyed, we rinse the fabrics in water temperature between 125 & 140 degrees with Synthrapol.  However, one of the things every dyer and the dyeing books talk about is the different ways the dyes respond in different waters (different chemicals, minerals, etc.).  As every quilter knows, some commercial fabrics bleed and run, others do not.  You are likely to have similar experiences with any hand-dyed fabrics.  Be safe.  TEST.

If you do experience problems try two things.

  1. Use cold water.
  2. Wash with Synthrapol a time or two, following the instructions on the bottle.


    Email us if you have any questions at all.
