Make it Monday: Shibori


I've been seeing indigo shibori dyed fabrics all over design blogs lately, so I was excited to find this diy tutorial from Honestly WTF.  Shibori is an ancient Japanese fabric dying technique that uses shape-resist, kind of like tie-dye.  The tutorial has excellent step-by-step instructions and shows the dye patterns made from various folding techniques.

Find the full tutorial from Honestly WTF here.   I also found this tutorial from Tried & True blog that uses natural dye made from hibiscus flowers to create a pretty blush pink shibori.
