How to Shibori a scarf December 1, 2018


What a great way to start December 2018!! We had a class at Cary Quilting Company on “How to Shibori a scarf.”



Aoife , Debbie, and Jeanette joined me and learned how to stich and fold a resist into a scarf and then dye it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
We used small rubber bands to create a Vertical Fold
To do this, you want to dampen your silk, then scrunch it in small folds to the end then attach rubber bands at the ends and or middle. (the white lines is where the bands prevented color from getting into the silk)
 
 
and we did a design using a straight line and a starburst
 
We chatted .....
   and we stitched....
 

 and we chatted.....
 
and we Dyed
 

 
 
It was amazing how fast three hours can fly! By the time we were done each had a Vertical Fold ready to be washed at home and a new Starburst curing in the dye ready to be washed out.
Below are the results of the class. I think they are all beautiful!!!!

I am conducting another Shibori Class at Cary Quilting company on Saturday March 2, from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM.  The cost is $108 and we'll be stitching on cotton panels to make that lovely "one of a kind"  panel.
If you are interested just follow the link and sign up. We'll get busy sewing, then break for lunch and start to dye your creations. Hope to see you there!!
