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.

The technique is fairly simple as far as a stitched shibori pattern goes. Accordion fold the piece to the desired width and then tack the edge with repetitive stitching. Watch the video for a visual.
Fourth of July Tie Dye Tutorial
I wanted to try something fun and festive for the Fourth of July this year. I was inspired by people in my online shibori classes, being resourceful when they couldn't get their hands on indigo. They would buy Rit Dye or tie dye kits! The Shibori folding techniques can be applied to tie dye and you can have a lot of fun mixing the colors!
