Tie Dye–Step out of your comfort zone

I’ve always admired people that try very difficult things, pushing themselves WAY outside their comfort zone. Last week I went to a Natural Dye workshop with good friends. I SO appreciate @JeanHaleyDesign.com for sharing her expertise and even though chemistry is not my jam, I learned a great deal.

Using silk and we hand stitched this super cool Shibori design around the neck, sleeves and the bottom of the blouse. I did the same Shibori ‘scoop’ effect design on the asymmetrical skirt. After two dips, the fabric reached a beautiful pale blue, when dry it’s a silvery blue. So beautiful!
