Shibori stitching: At the cottage last month, I also brought “prepared for dye” fab

Shibori stitching: At the cottage last month, I also brought “prepared for dye” fabric that I wanted to stitch up, shibori style. Using “Stitched Shibori” by Jane Callendar as a guide, I tried a few different stitch patterns for different motifs. The book was great in terms of showing technique and methods.

I also read a few library books about natural dyeing, including “The Modern Natural Dyer” by Kristine Vejarand“Natural Colour” by Sasha Duerr and really enjoyed and learned a lot from reading them both. If you have any other books to recommend on natural dyeing, I’d love to hear!

It was lovely to spend a rainy day at the cottage reading and stitching, with Ollie underfoot relaxing, too!
