Thank you so much for the demonstration on natural flower prints on fabric. Your results are stunning. I am from India, heading an NGO helping the underprivileged women in the community. Teaching this to the women will help them a lot for earning their money. Can you please explain how you pre treat the fabric, as well how you do a dye work after the eco print. Thank you once again, God Bless you.
In the past I have placed my fabrics in vinegar to soak overnight, but ecoprinting generally involves a diluted soy milk with a three turn saturation. Letting the fabric soak over night for three consecutive nights, taking it out for a solid wringing between soaks. It is then ready for the wooden hammer and board. I hope this helps and that your endeavors in India are productive. ❤
@@bevgipson1959 yes I’m kind of disappointed, she said she was going to leave instructions in a link under the video. But I guess she changed her mind and tried to monetise it into a course as I can’t see any link now…
I love how the yellow flowers turned bright orange/red with hints of yellow. I have bought meters of plain linen to try this as well as cotton, thank you for sharing I think I will,have to dive down the rabbit hole just to learn a lot more about this just to find out what flowers I can use.🤗🤗🤗
I've watching this so many times over the last three years. I have managed my own great prints with coreopsis. Thanks so much for the clear instructions.
I would love to know your secret because I have only been doing this for 2 1/2 years and I have Eco printed on like 30 or 40 different fabrics and I still have only got four of them to work out with clear Eco prints. I’m trying to figure out what am I doing wrong am I doing something wrong during scouring Mantin, but the thing is I follow all the scouring and more and I still can’t get it to work. I did find some things that I was doing wrong during the steaming process. I found quite a few things I was doing wrong, but even with fixing that I still can’t get clear prints there’s something wrong or there’s some secret that I don’t know about because I just can’t get it to work and it really upsets me because I’ve put so much time and energy and money into this craft this craft craft.
You might discuss this in another video, but what would you recommend for pre-treatment of the fabric to encourage a strong bond between fabric and dye? Natural vs chemical pre-treatments...? Also, do the results vary depending upon the fabric choices? I really liked the effect of the smaller piece of bamboo silk, but am wondering if the effect would be similar if using cotton, upcycled denim, etc...?
I appreciate that you address EVERYTHING in this video - lightfastness, sustainability, mordanting, fiber choice, bundle versus other methods, etc. * subscribed *
Ohhh Thank you! thank you! thank you! How ABSOLUTELY LOVELY! I’m new to eco printing. I attempted it years ago after following some rather poor instructions. (Or lack of) I had no idea what a mordant was and was told to steam in vinegar? After hours of collecting lovely wildflowers I got one single print...that looked like someone stepped on a rusty spider. The cloth itself looked like it molded. I was disheartened to say the least. You have given such thorough instructions, I feel inspired again! In fact, It’s 3am, i can’t sleep and am resisting the urge to get printing! 😂 I have almost EVERYTHING you’re using! Even the exact steamer and even FLOWERS! (I live in the mountain desert of NM, so flowers are rare) This year my 4 o clock perineal bushes went crazy and even bloomed new bushes in every crack nook and cranny! I literally have thousands of luscious bright hot pink flowers (my 4 o clock) and fields of country daisies (I think that’s what they are, they’re very similar to what you’re using) I have NO MORDANT. Ferrous sulfate sounds SO familiar. I feel like i have some around here somewhere? Idk if I’m overtired or it was prescribed to me for something? Im not sure how the mordant process even works. I’m getting ready to watch the links you suggested. Perhaps I can find something.🤞 Can you please tell me how the hot pinkish red 4oclocks print. They’re so lovely and vibrant when they bloom, but instantly turn black when they fall off and die. I’m not sure how to place them either? They’re similar to a morning glory in that you can’t spread out petals and press. Also.. I have purple...weeds (although I’ve been told it might be Milo) that are so lovely. Does purple work as well? Sorry so long! You’ve just really inspired me! After my initial disappointment & all these years I thought I’d never try it again. I’m a biologist/zoologist environmentalist and artist. I want to eco print so badly for a botanical junk journal I’m creating! You’ve given me both the tools and knowledge and inspired my heart again! 🙏🏼!
Hi!! So exciting!! Sadly, vinegar is suggested as a mordant quite often online and it does absolutely nothing to help the dye bind onto fiber. I’ve never worked with 4 o’clocks before but many pink flowers don’t print very well. It’s worth trying once you have your fiber properly mordanted. I hope that you enjoy your printing projects! 💗
I had heard of eco dying but never seen it done, thank you! Excellent demonstration. I grow lots of zinnias, black eyed Susan, fox glove and a Mexican sunflower with 2-3 inch orange flowers. I'm going to try this!! @Debra L Pate Art
I was MESMERIZED watching this!! I live on top of a meadow now and have been wanting to try eco printing.. Thank you so much for the wonderful video! 🌼💗
Did you scour and mordant the cotton fabric? If so do you have a tutorial? This is the most clear understandable tutorial. Thank you… I’ve spent hours looking for one.
I love thé bleeding effect, il looks like a impressionniste painting. ❤❤❤Thank you so much for this vidéo, so well explained and no chitchat❤❤❤🙏👏👏👏Happy pregnancy to you❤
Thank you! I share my pre-treatment process in my full length online course as well as my Fundamental Elements of Natural Dye mini course: thebarefootdyer.thinkific.com/collections
How amazing!!! Thank you beautiful young lady for this easier method to dying with flowers. Very cool. I will keep watching for any setting step.♥️ Thanks for the tip that you do not have to dry fabric first.👌 Congratulations on your baby!Babies, as I hear them in background.🥰
Hi! Love the video ❤ and the results on all were beautiful!. I could see that as a summer dress... I was wondering what you'd use those as. I would cut the various components of a dress and do what you did. I must try this someday. Thank you 😊
Thank you! The video is awesome and very easy to understand and follow the instructions! I enjoyed watching it very much and it turned out to be very relaxing! I have one question remaining: - What does it mean to steam? - Should I boil water and after that place the clothes inside, so they are completely covered in water for 5-7 min?
Oooh I really like the one with the most bleeding. It's like a stylized floral. I wonder if this would work with chicory! Has anyone here tried that? I'm obsessed with the chicory that lines the roads here in the Midwest.
Thank you so much! I loved your demonstration, could you please let me know whether the water had anything in it or was it plain water. I appreciate your response!
I can’t keep up with my flowers this year. Way too many blooms. I’m trying to press as many as possible. Will I be able to use the pressed flowers for bundle dying? Do I need to rehydrate them? Will my steaming time need to be adjusted …?
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. But how does it work on a dress? With me the linen dress got very spotty and the flowers sprouted. The colors are nice, but not a beautiful print of the flowers. Greetings Karin Dyer who wants to learn a lot!
I cannot wait to try this that looks so fun and satisfying I have some beautiful flowers that I am really excited about trying and I really really love them so if this technique works with them I will be fascinated and using it on everything
Hi ! I am opening my lable which is all about organic plant based fabric and natural dyes. I have been wanting to incorporate eco prints as well. Along with Tataki home method , I would love to use this one as well. Is there any copyright on it or are we allowed to use this method as well ? Do let me know.
Do you talk about over dyeing in any of your other videos, and if not would you? I’ve seen short videos of people doing it but I’d like to know more of the details of it before I try it myself.

I think the rolled one with no dowel turned it the prettiest!
Love this art. Thank you for sharing this knowledge 🙏
No loss if I mess up but I have a plain white linen sundress I'm going to do this too. Can't wait, it's so pretty and unique. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely fantastic tutorial. I’ve learnt so much and what stunning results xxx
That was excellent!! Thank you for sharing, and how cool you can just go for a walk and find such great dye flowers!!

Dito
what are you mordanting your cotton with? are you pre-mordanting? are you doing a post-dye finishing? if so what are you using?
I'd like to know this info also.
Mordanting? Wow the terminology is awesome

To add to my earlier comment i dont use wool, silk and leather. I like to work with Cotton. Your video is great help.
Great presentation - lose the music you don’t need it. Thank you for sharing your expertise 🦋
I love this idea, new for me and I can't wait to try it myself....
Thank you for going into such detail! You have been 100 percent more helpful than anyone else. So happy I found you 🥰❤
Thank you Jazmin! So glad you found this video helpful! 💛
So how is the fabric pretreated? Do you soak in soy milk?
Yeah, me too❤
Wow !!! I'm seeing this for the first time. Thanks for the awesome tutorial

These were so gorgeous! What mordants did you use?
Hi!
Love the video ❤ and the results on all were beautiful!.
I could see that as a summer dress...
I was wondering what you'd use those as.
I would cut the various components of a dress and do what you did.
I must try this someday. Thank you 😊
Es precioso tu trabajo, gracias por regalarlo, Dios bendiga tu familia
I love you cat!! Wonderful tutorial!
They are all very beautiful. Your lighting was really good and the volume was perfect. Your demonstration was clear and easy to follow
Thanks so much for the feedback! 🧡
Do you have a video or can you advise some ideas how to use the small pieces of cloth once eco printed? Thank you.
Wow! Thank you!! Love it! So great to be able to make your own 'fabric' Stunning
So nice thank you for sharing this print ,I am from Iran🙏🙏🙏🙏
Such a great video thank you for teaching us. You’re a wonderful teacher!
Thanks so much!
What would you use them for? A pillow? Stretch them on canvas? What do you do with the finish product! I love this so much!!
I eco print on so many different things! Curtains, clothing and blankets are some of my favorites. I love the idea of stretching it over a canvas! 💛
@@thebarefootdyer Thank you!
I am from Thailand thank you for sharing.I have subscribed your channel.
Thank you!!! Great demo .. look forward to learning more 😃👍🏼😁
You did a beautiful job.
Loved your clear concise instructions! Thank you - I am ready to experiment now!
Thanks so much Kay! Happy dyeing!
What temperature? How much water? Can you use sticks instead of dowel rods? Any kind of way to seal to wash after wearing?
so helpful! and your voice is so calming
Great!! I'v love the Wayne you beach!! Thanks!!🇨🇱
Enjoyed learning about this technique will continue to watch your video's! Thank you, Marlene

- What does it mean to steam?
- Should I boil water and after that place the clothes inside, so they are completely covered in water for 5-7 min?
Gracias.....
Lo haré.
Dios te bendiga.
Saludos desde Ecuador.
The results are exciting, thank you .
♥️
i dont have a steamer is there another solution for it ? they look amazing .
All 3 look beautiful. You can make some awesome dresses for little girls out of those lovely fabrics, if not you can do some pretty pillow cases. TFS
Herzlichen Dank. Es war sehr interessant und lehrreich für mich.
Lindosss iniciei agora mas n tenho flores fica meio sem graça peço sugestão como reaproveitar esses tecidos?
What does it mean that you will overdye it? What did it look like after that?
Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful and thank you 🙂
I assume it would be a different outcome but can you use dried flowers to eco print?
C'est très beau les fleurs sont très colorée magnifique 💗
Thanks so much for a great video. Are all three pieces of fabric pre mordanted before you start?
I definetly whsnt to try this dying process do all flowers turn same colour how does one figure a colour theyd like ?
What you put in the bath before steaming.any..liquid ??
What do you do with the string and the plastic when you’re done with it?

I would like to make a t shirt for my granddaughter. How would I lay out flowers on a shirt please. I have a wildflower garden that just bloomed!😊
Wonderful!!!!! Is there any leaf that prints true green? I want to do fabric with mostly stems and leaves but need them to stay green.
What is colour fastness and washing fastness property of this fabric
We loved it it was fun

did you pre treat the fabric with something and if so what did you use?
Iron dying? So many questions kinda could be a bit more clear but beautiful prints for yellow To be red wonderful!
Wonder job! Very nice video!
Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. But how does it work on a dress?
With me the linen dress got very spotty and the flowers sprouted.
The colors are nice, but not a beautiful print of the flowers.
Greetings Karin
Dyer who wants to learn a lot!
Is it vital to scour fabric before dyeing?
Love the cloth with the bleeding. How big are the dowels? Thanks so much for all your irk in sharing this video
I cannot wait to try this that looks so fun and satisfying I have some beautiful flowers that I am really excited about trying and I really really love them so if this technique works with them I will be fascinated and using it on everything
How exciting!! I hope they work well for you!
At last what did you do with favric rolls ,steam with water or what ,i did not understand. Please answer me.😊❤
What do you do with the finished fabric? Also, are these washable?
Good video, though the sound quality could be warmer. I am going t o try the project though, it looks fun!
Thanks Elsie! I’m still learning when it comes to camera and sound. I appreciate your feedback!
very nice. Please tell us if you premordanted. This is a very important step. If so, what did you use (besides the iron on one piece}
Hola excelente tu tutorial. Solo tengo una duda a la tela y a las flores les aplicas mordiente antes de imprimir. Gracias

u're beautiful, big thank you for the knowledge!! nice vibes from colombia
Gorgeous!! Will have to try this
So beautiful I think I will try it also but I am scared when I will wash it will it come out thank you for your video it was beautiful
Thank you! The color fastness will depend on if the fabric is mordanted and the plants that are used.
