While I was dyeing my stitched shibori I decided to dye some folded and clamped pieces. I figures that some day I will want to make something with the stitched pieces and figured that I might want some clamped pieces in the final piece. As I was ironing these I decided that I needed some lighter values to contrast against the dark stitched pieces so I see doing some others in light blue. Here's how each looked clamped so you can match them up. I replaced the #4 broken rubber band before I dyed the fabrics!

When I tried to clamp and use boards, my fabric ended up mostly white, not enough blue. How much fabric do you fold up? Now I have this white with a bit of blue design that really is not useable in my quilts.

You can always overdye that "oops" fabric. Often, that makes something better than your original idea.

I love these fabrics! Thanks for showing how you did them. I need to get some of these templates and do some clamping.

I never would have thought that using clamps and the shapes would end up with those results. I would expect the dye to make its way under - so cool!

Did you make your plastic pieces! Or buy them? Better idea than wooden blocks.

The clamped shibori turned out beautiful! I think I have some of those plastic shapes somewhere. The clamp pieces are a lot quicker to do than the stitched ones, but they are just as beautiful. Comments are closed.
