Redefining the Role of Fabric to an Art

Continuing the craft of hand dyeing and hand printing in the digital age.

Silk Charmeuse dyed with fiber reactive dyes and painted with mineral paints.

Melanie Audet Limited Editions is a small artist owned business in the Pikes Peak Region of Colorado. I hand dye and handprint fabric yardage and pre-made items in my home studio. The fabric yardage is sold as is or sewn into unique items. I have 20+ years of experience in this craft and I am constantly learning new things and evolving my knowledge. My main focus is on hand dyeing and at times I contract my sewing to small, independently run businesses in the US or use pre-made items from ethically responsible companies.

Changing perspectives with Hand Dyed Fabric

At Melanie Audet Limited Editions, my aim is to bring more awareness to the significance of fabric. By focusing my efforts on hand dyeing and hand printing small yards of fabric, I hope to bring a deeper appreciation to the artistry and value fabric has in our daily lives. I contract smaller, US based, independently run manufacturers and sewists, ensuring a standard of workplace safety and lifestyle of workers. It’s no secret the fashion industry has a huge impact environmentally and socially. I hope to offer an alternative which in turn will begin a trend that eventually helps alleviate fashion’s massive impact.
