Enter the colourful world of natural dyeing and learn how to use plant colour on linen to make a unique cushion cover. Naturally dyed linen can be used for years, and when it is at the end of its life you can compost it.

With the information given you will leave feeling confident to continue at home or just have a new item to use again and again.
