Dyed purse

The starting material for the dyeing game was a piece of white linen cloth and a linen thread called twine. I measured a circle with a plate, cut it out, hemmed it and rubbed it wet with alum. I bought alum a long time ago in a chemist's in the form of deodorant. I think asking here what I used to dye it is pointless, since the photo clearly suggests that I used onion. I boiled the peels briefly. I threw in the fabric and "boiled covered, stirring constantly" (you can guess where this quote comes from) for about 20 minutes. I rinsed it in water with vinegar. Finally, I just braided a string from the thread and pulled it into the pouch.

Such a small thing but a lot of joy 🙂

I am slowly improving my fitness. Today I rode to Zatom Nowy without much effort. After a tiring ride through the Noteć Forest that I did last week (36 km on sand, gravel, more sand, roots, litter because I rode badly and more sand) today's 30 km on the road... wait, did I actually ride anywhere today, because I can't feel it? 😉 All that remained was the impression of the smell and sound of the May forest and the sight of fields and flowers slowly warming up in the morning sun.
