Many of you have asked what type of dye/dye process I’ve used in my cloth diaper, baby onesie, and yarn projects. The answer is Procion Fiber Reactive dye, sold by the Dharma Trading Co. (Thank you, Kristi from Hip Green Baby, for helping me discover these fabulous dyes!)

For those who want to explore dyes but don’t have the supplies, you’re in luck. I stumbled across a great Fabric Starter Kit giveaway over at the Approachable Art website. Two readers will win a complete kit from Dharma, containing everything you need to get started. To enter, head over to Approachable Art — but hurry. Tomorrow (October 8) is the last day to enter!

I'm Gina Munsey, a Jesus-lover and a sojourner; a weaver of words, anchored in hope. I am Mexico-born, Eastern Europe-raised missionary kid who ended up being a Californian by way of Florida outside of Nashville, Tennessee -- but we landed here before The Great Migration. I live my days full of coffee and adventures while my 12-year-old learns Mandarin Chinese and Greek, my 3-year-old uses all the markers, and my artist-husband creates worlds from pixels and light. I'm an editor, a magazine contributor, and a writer who has only completed four chapters of my languishing manuscript. On any given day, you can find me in the middle of [home]school surrounded by stacks and stacks of books. Oh, and the name of this blog? Oaxaca -- wuh-HA-kuh -- is in Southern Mexico, where I was born! (See full bio).
