New Book! FD101 Workshop Planning Guide

Earn money teaching Fabric Dyeing 101


Would you like to teach fabric dyeing but don't know how to start?


When I had my hand-dyed fabric business, the most lucrative part of the business was teaching fabric dyeing. Not only did I earn an excellent income ($250+ per half day workshop), but the rest of my business flourished as well.


Everything I learned about planning a workshop is included in my new book. This eBook is in PDF format and can be viewed using Adobe Reader. [Most computers already have this program but if you need it, it's a free download here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/]

Fabric Dyeing 101 Book Feedback

Fabric Dyeing 101 has been available for about six weeks now and I'm starting to get feedback from those of you who have had time to create some hand-dyes. Here's one recent message:

Hi Melissa

I purchased your ebook last month and just wanted to let you know I think this is the best book on hand dyeing fabrics I've seen yet.

I've purchased several books on hand dyeing fabrics---many cost much more than yours and yet yours is the best. The directions are so detailed yet easy to follow. I've dyed rainbow #1 a few days ago and it came out just beautiful.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful and useful resource.

Music to my ears!

Thanks to all of you who have purchased the book so far. I really appreciate it and look forward to hearing from more of you.  It can be quite a thrill when you see how beautiful your own hand-dyed fabrics will be!

PS: If you've got an eReader or iPad (or a computer), my free eBook is available in all formats.

Hi Melissa,

When I first found your website, I couldn't believe how much information was ther...for free. Now you are selling your ebooks, I'm equally amazed--for under $4 you are providing way more information, clearly written, than books I've paid $25 for. I appreciate your generosity and expertise so much. Thank you.

Hi Melissa,


I wish I would have found your ebook earlier I would have saved a lot of money on books and online classes. I have learned more from you than the fancy 30.00 book I ordered what a waste. But, I have yours now and loved reading every page. Ready to start dyeing fabric.
