One of my favorite things to do with shibori is to use things that are not so expected- like paint stirrers! This pattern is so much fun and looks really sophisticated! I love the way it makes a jagged abstract stripe down the middle. I made this pillow from a linen- but if you want to dye a ready made pillow, you can check out the link above in the supply list. It's 100% cotton and is great for pre reduced indigo.

TIE DYE SHIRT TUTORIAL SERIES: CRISS CROSS PATTERN

I love this tie dye pattern- it's very cool looking but is very easy to get. This pattern was made with folding and rubber bands. The criss cross pattern looks good in multiple colors or single colors too. I've used dark blue teal, light blue, and a coral for this pattern.

TIE DYE SHIRT TUTORIAL: GEO TRIANGLE PATTERN

Usually Itajime patterns are made with indigo, but I wanted to use it with tie dye colors. I am using procion dyes (or tie dye) with this traditional Japanese pattern for a cool twist on modern tie dye. I wanted to go with a earthy color palette- inspired by the forrest or camouflage. I did a poll on instagram and people voted to call this color palette "Forrest Scape" I love that name.

Do you have a piece of clothing or two that you love and have thought about throwing out, but you can't because you love it too much? This denim dress is a favorite and is past its prime.
