Shibori Dyeing • Shibori is a resist-dyeing technique that creates patterns on fabric. The resists are created by folding, stitching and gathering, clamping, binding, tying… if there’s a way to compress fabric so that the dye can’t penetrate to that area, it’s a shibori resist technique. Try these three techniques on your motifs for the Shibori Pillow on p. 15.
