Leaf Printing with Natural Dyes - Slowstitch Studio
Check out our video showing the entire leaf printing process for our silk bandanas and scarves.
We first start by collecting some leaves from our butterfly pea bush in the garden. This time of year they are full of life after the rainy season and have a nice shape.
We then make extracts from two natural dyes - marigold flowers for yellow and cutch (which is a kind of wood) that gives a light brown color. After arranging our leaves on top of the silk we use a fine mesh screen to hold them down and allow us to get some clear prints - first yellow followed by light brown. Once the fabric is dry it gets rolled up onto a perforated core and placed inside a fabric steamer to set the colors. Most ...

Here's a little video showing our patchwork embroidery process step-by-step. From drawing the design through to selecting the right fabric and yarns each step is a thoughtful meditation on how these small remnants of our hand-dyed textiles can have a second lease on life. Each one of the fabric scraps came from a bigger project that was meticulously hand-stitched, pulled to create a shibori res...
Chevron Scarf - by Slowstitch Studio
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.3 года назад
Introducing our iconic Chevron design. It's occurred to me that the Chevron has become a close companion to us. Over the years of dyeing at our textile studio we've seen each other through it all - both the good times and the not-so-good times. I'm not quite sure when it happened exactly but at some point the Chevron became something more to us than just an intricately stitched pattern of pleas...

    Yeah, I guess this is good for children, but premordanted material sort of forces the buyer toward dependency to buy it from you & not learn for themselves how to do this step. Oh, hah! interesting sales tactic

    I used to do this with typewriting paper(is that around anymore?) when a teen , using leaves or slice of red onions..... under a heavy book or rocks (when hot outside, really cooks it). Then with fabrics and flowers and . Was so much fun to see. Thanks for reminding me and showing others how nature is so beautiful .

      @@allisonjoel1 Sure, the name of the paste is "katazome paste" and you can find a recipe for it online if you search for Tien Chiu's blog. For the stencil sheet you can search on amazon for "Mylar blank stencil making sheet" and you'll find quite a few suppliers there. Hope that helps! :)

    Hi may i know if we can use other different types of natural dye to colour the fabrics?

    • @slowstitchstudio2773
      @slowstitchstudio2773 4 года назад

      Hi Roslinda, yes! Almost every plant can be used for color, but only a few plants can give yellows, reds and blue. Also, while many plants give colors most will fade after some sunlight exposure. The key is experimentation and using more light-fast traditional dyes such as indigo, madder, cutch, etc.
