This is a MEGA useful tutorial, and I totes want to try dyeing minky at some point, but unfortunately, I don't have a washer or dryer.. Do you have any tips or advice for getting all the extra dye out completely without a washer? I can use my bathtub to wash it, but that's all I got. :'D

You're very welcome! I would just say to wash it several times until the water from the wet fabric runs clear. I would not suggest using a bathtub because it could stain. You could buy a large bucket or just use the pot you used to dye the fabric. Just make sure it's washed well beforehand.

Okay, that's what I figured, it will just take a bit longer to hand wash! XD

Heya hun, was wondering if you think it'd be possible to dye an already sewn piece? say a mane or tail? Unstuffed of course. Do you think the fabric would dye evenly?

i think it would. the seams might be a little iffy, though. but if you pick out the fibers from the seam, then dye it, it might help the dye seep into the seams. i don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to dye it the same way and send it through the wash (provided there's no hand sewing)

I'll definitely try it out. Thanks for the advice

Huh... I never thought about dying cuddle fabric. I'll definitely have to keep that in mind for the future!

I've seen so many difficulties due to the limited colors that minky is made in.
I have a feeling this will help a whole lot of people!
Nice job!

Thanks for the helpful tutorial ^^ I've worked with minky before but I ended up switching to microfleece instead. Your cat is so cute and photogenic too!

Awesome! I dye a lot of fabrics anyway, but I've never tried gradiating or colour changes, I'll have to go look for a project that incorporates it XD

do you have a tutorial for how to airbrush minky? (or felt would be good too!)

I've actually never airbrushed minky, but I definitely want to try it someday. I'll try to remember to make a tutorial for when I do.
