A blog that follows my explorations in cloth from surface design and art cloth to stitch, embellish and quilting. I use all forms of textile and threads starting with a white or natural colour base and adding life to the fabric with colour,texture and stitch.

Looking at the dye samples
One of the joys of natural dyeing is the unpredictability of the results. It's about
the only ironing job I like - ironing the dyed pieces after they have been rinsed and dried.
You can see the shibori indigo piece in more detail below, a few lines of stitches were done on the machine with a long stitch setting before I drew up the threads tightly and put the piece in the indigo vat..
