All Products forShibori Circles Red on Green

Working with fabrics, tie-dye techniques have always intrigued me. While taking a textile course at UCLA, I was introduced to shibori—the Japanese art of shaped resist dyeing. This method of shaping cloth and securing it before dyeing opened up a whole new way of giving fabrics a three-dimensional form by folding, crumpling, stitching, plucking, twisting, binding, and knotting. Chance, accident, and the unexpected are the elements that give life to the shibori process, giving the end product some of its most appealing characteristics. The Japanese Shibori Collection features designs directly from my original silk and cotton textiles. And this bright red and green version is perfect for a variety of winter holiday sewing projects!
