Itajime Shibori

The process of folding fabric, and then clamping it between boards is the Itajime technique of Shibori dyeing. The fabric is folded into vertical pleats of squares, rectangles and triangles and placed between two shapes of wood board or metal and clamped. The shapes of the wood or metal determine the resulting pattern onto the dyed fabric. Check out some of my new creations!!!

Vintage inspired Prints

I love taking inspiration from vintage clothes since thrift shopping is one of my favorite things to do. You never know what you will find while thrifting. I picked up a few nice pieces at the garment district while I was up in Cambridge. I try to hit up the thrift stores everywhere I travel. Will be posting some of my vintage finds soon. Hope you enjoy these in the mean time!!!!!!
