In this post, I’ll show you two shibori binding techniques: one is a simple binding technique using dry chickpeas and elastic bands and the other is a spider-web binding technique using cotton thread. Both producing unique and wonderful patterns!
I’ve been hand-dyeing fabric for several years. I can’t remember exactly when I got started, but I just remember being immediately drawn to how a plain piece of cloth could be transformed into unique patterns simply by tying, scrunching or binding fabric before submerging it in dye.
My latest batch of hand-dyed fabrics inspired my new fall 2020 color palette. You'll be seeing these colors pop up in products and patterns that I’m creating this fall/winter season. Read this post to learn more about my hand-dyeing process.

Over the past few months I’ve applied to several online design competitions. For me, participating in these competitions is not about winning - but rather, it gives me a chance to explore my own creative abilities, design ideas and experiment with new products, tools, techniques.
Here’s a peek at some of my work-in-progress moments along with the finished work that I submitted.
I’m excited to announce that I’ve launched a new class on Skillshare called: Learn Fabric Painting Techniques - The Basics. In this 30 minute class, you’ll learn the basics of fabric painting.
