I've made bunting for the new great nephew and niece, and their bigger sister
And I've cut bundles of Hexies using Jackie's 2" die which is currently holidaying here from Ireland.
Do these two colours look the same? This isn't the first time that I think two orders of Kona fabric have resulted in a slightly different shade :-(

The greys look slightly different! I wonder is it like wool where it has to be the same dye lot to be the exact colour! I hope the hexi is ha
ReplyDelete......having a good time and getting lots of use! :-)
ReplyDeleteDye lots.
ReplyDeleteOr, wrong side & right sides.
You are the bunting queen.
Ooh ooh ooh hexies!
ReplyDeletegreat bunting. must have a look for the 2" die and get loads of them cut out as thinking of selling my sizzix machine. I only cut the card with the machine and just cut rectangles out of the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteYes those greys do look different but rather like the difference
Busy girl!
ReplyDeleteYes, Kona greys and neutrals have a bit of a reputation for not being very consistent with their die lots
The bunting is really cute! And yes, I'd blame different dye lots of the colour change - I had the same problem with some Sketch. And I thought that because Sketch and Rain were made by the same company and they both had a colour called 'mist' that they'd be approximately the same colour. They're not!
ReplyDeleteCute buntings! Yes, they look quite different. That happened to me w Mint. And here I've been so loyal to Kona (I do love the stuff). I know there are dye lots, but they're not exactly doing it in small batches, are they? Seems like something they could do better.
