More Shibori Projects
I'm still having fun using some of my dyed fabrics from Linda Dawson's Shibori workshop. I've been making covers for my stack of yellow note pads. I like how the naked white buttons look with the indigo fabrics.
This one is a softer cover, using a regular batting rather than the heavy weight Fast2Fuse. I raw edge finished and crocheted two funky yarns together for the edging and ties. It's a furry little creature.
Inside I used two other dyed fabrics. The over-dyed piece is from Linda H. who was in Linda D's class. She over dyed a white on white print and wasn't happy with it, was going to toss it. I said it was great so she gave it to me. Thank you Linda!

I love your blue notebook cover! Shibori is a technique I need to explore!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful notebooks! The blue one is so crisp and the other so tactile! Fortunately, our taxes are done. I was educated as an accountant but doing taxes stresses me so much that we send ours out to be done. I get stress just from pulling all the crap together. I hate everything about it. I wish they would get rid of every single deduction and just have straight income taxes. Life would be better for everyone - even the tax preparers because they could get interesting jobs!
ReplyDeleteI love these notebook covers - you are right - that white button looks wonderful against the blue. I've got to go do some playing with my dyes, and soon!
ReplyDeleteThe white button does make a nice contrast. I really like the fuzzy one.
ReplyDeleteLove the notebook covers especially adding the texture to the outer edge. I definitely need to try some fabric dyeing.
ReplyDeleteThe variety of work you show on your blog is awesome. I love the blue cover. Did you do the lines of stitching freemotion? It's lovely, anyway.
ReplyDeleteThose little books are all dressed up!
ReplyDeleteTaxes are done-signed, sealed, and delivered:)
