Fabric Dyeing 101: Simple Instructions For Beautiful Fabrics provides everything you need to know to dye your own beautiful hand-dyed cotton fabrics at home in a frugal and environmentally-sensitive manner. It's now available as an eBook (in PDF format) for just $2.99.

All you need is a fabric dyeing or tie-dye starter kit, some cotton sewing fabric, and some household supplies. This book evolved from my days as a fabric dyeing instructor.

Want to earn money teaching fabric dyeing? Written as a companion book to Fabric Dyeing 101, my Workshop Planning Guide tells everything I learned about running successful (and lucrative) workshops.

My daily life blog is Empress of Dirt.

Free eBook

This free eBook tells the story of how my desire to make a simple quilt turned into a bustling hand-dyed fabric business. Parts of this story first appeared on this site. I recently completed the story and added more funny (in hindsight!) details. While it's not a business how-to, you may get some ideas about how you want to develop and run your own craft or art-based business after reading about my struggles and successes. 

Hand-Dyes For Sale: How I Turned My Hobby Into A Business

Have you ever wanted to turn a favorite craft or art-based hobby into a business? Melissa reveals both frustrating and funny experiences with her hand-dyed fabric business.

eBook (free!) 
Available for the Kindle, Nook, Sony Reader, Kobo, and most e-reading apps including Stanza, Aldiko, Adobe Digital Editions, Palm, others.
