Trussed and Tied and ready to Dye.........



Sounds a little ominous but really it's all about shibori! Here's some photos of the next stage of the upcycled silk scarf...



Upcycled Silk Scarf

Gathered and tied; ready for the dye bath


It took me a little longer to stitch and gather and tie up than I thought! Never mind, it's in the dye bath now... only an hour or so to wait until I can get it out and remove the stitching! I can't wait to see how it turns out.....
