Sometimes I make shibori in a bucket in my backyard. These are my most recent two. The color was supposed to be a sort of dark goldenrod yellow but it turned out peach instead? I'm not really happy with them.



Hand stitched resist--the outline with embroidery floss and the details with thread.



The resist on this one was coins wrapped in string.

I also dislike taking pictures which is why I haven't posted more of them in this thread.

I made this shibori a couple years ago and I think it is by far my favorite. I used my sewing machine to baste a bunch of parallel lines (with a few empty circles) that I then pulled tight.

I am actually planning on trying some shibori tomorrow (although I have previously been told on this very page that it's boring because it only has one color) so I will report back.

Previous failed shibori experiments have been sacrificed to the cause of public health (they became mask linings)

I didn't use real indigo, though, I used a combination of Jacquard Procion dyes (warm black and cobalt blue). They came out pretty well today.



Itajime--folded and pressed between blocks



Something my husband did with binder clips and arashi--fabric wrapped around a pole with string



Nui--folded and stitched

And pre-dye:



Arashi, itajime, and binder clip thing



Nui (the pleated one just turned out almost completely dark, so I didn't take a picture)

I think these will end up in a quilt with some orange/yellow solids.

Oh, this thread is back? Great timing, I just dyed some more fabric.



I did some solid yellow/orange too, but no pics because it's boring. I'm going to make a quilt with all of this.

I made the quilt.



I've also been doing some ice dyed itajime shibori.
