Flesh-Toned Fabrics
- Hand-Dyed Ethnic Fabric : These are 100% hand-dyed cotton fabrics in flesh-tone colors (Asian, Hispanic, African, Native American and Caucasian). I have bought these and it provides a good color-range, but I think some of the ones designated as Native American have too much of a "reddish" tint.
- Recipes for Flesh-Dyeing Fabrics: From Doll Street. Font used makes it hard to read. Do a CTRL-A to highlight the entire page, then CTRL-C to copy, and CTRL-V in WORD (I don’t know to do this in WordPerfect) and change the font to suit yourself. Has a number of different "recipes" including one from Kianga Hanif, one of the foremost African-American Doll artists (next to the last one on the page).
- TextileArt: This site is in process of creating a range of flesh-tone fabrics. Target date for availability is early December, 2002.
- UniqueSpool: Has a good range of colors
- WeirDolls: Has three colors (light tan, medium brown and chocolate) in cotton interlock (knit) fabric.
