I did a two hour steam and all colours are vibrant, before i had to use fabric paint to patch in the flowers. love your site and have subscribed.
Oh yay well done!! How satisfying 💗
The string gives the fabric a Batik quality. Really very lovely.
Yes! 💛💛

My wee trial is in the steamer as we speak! I’m practicing to then try it with my great neice who’s 4years old and adores crafts. Thank you so much ☺️
How did it go? I hope you had fun!!
Thank you, I learned new way to press. 🌷

Excelente
Me gustó mucho ver a la niña realizando el trabajo con tanto entusiasmo
☺️
Such a nice art and talented , eco friendly. I wish the world do the same without using harsh chemicals. Great video. Thank you😊love from india🙏🤩👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful, Ceilidh! Your daughters are such cute little angels. 🥰 Thanks so much for sharing all your passion and knowledge and experiments with us. It's so precious and a great help and source of inspiration! I haven't done any bundle dyeing or eco printing at all so far, but a lot of scouring and mordanting for it and I can't wait to get started so-so soon. I agree with you, bundle dyeing must be more creative and wild and intuitive but I think eco-printing can also be a nice way of portraiting a beloved plant or flower and tree sometimes. Billy's right, the marks are pretty and her piece looks like a bundle dyed eco print. So cool! 💚
Billy’s totally won ☺️ ❤️❤️❤️ hope you have some fun with your bundles
Awesome
I am going to try it too ❤
Yay
Happy to see you & the family & your experiments :)
Also, I love the jangling noise of your bracelets and your outfit is beautiful! Are the top and bottoms your creations?xx
❤️
wow !! HALLELUYAH

Hii do you mordant the cloth ? If yes with what and how to color fix it after dyeing plss help i need it for a project ❤
How do you wash them? Any specific care? Great video
Hi Billy,
Will you do a video explaining a little about how you started you TH-cam channel.
Any advice or tips for someone who would like to start a channel, myself?❤
Love your channel
Yes cool! I’ll stick that on the list ☺️💗
Hello mem... It will very useful if u make video on how to wash clothes with vegitable r leaves.
Your daughter is a cutie mines grown up now but she has hair like your little girls too!
It’s the most beautiful…. When it’s brushed! 😆
I like it...will this colour fade after washing
Very good
Thanks
Hi can u share the video on how to wash it ones it's converted into a garment?
wow that"s incredible !! HALLELUYAH PRAISE THE LORD !! i never realised how useful alot of things actually are
Haha 🥰🥰 hallelujah
Hi to beautiful flower on ur lap..
I like to wrap my bundles with elastic bandages. They give an even pressure on the fabric and i can use them over and over again
This is a really good tip ☺️💛
@@billynou elastic rubbers you mean?
@@billynou poo p
Beutiful! How long do your steam the for?
Very Very nice Mam
Hi BillyNou, i've heard you speaking about using alum and now I read a passage about it in a book about natural dying by Rebecca Desnos, and I just wanted to share it with you, who knows it can be of help to you. Thanks for all your video's, I am learning a lot :)
Why I don’t use alum
Alum is a popular mordant and is widely known as the ‘least toxic’ metallic salt
mordant. However, it must be noted that aluminium is in fact a toxin to the human
body. When handling alum, a dust mask is advisable and care should be taken to
not inhale the acidic vapours from the dye pot. Without a doubt there are potential
health risks from working with alum. I find the soya milk mordanting method
produces better results in terms of colour fastness, so I feel no need to use alum
again.
Hey love. I adore Rebecca 💗
Yes it’s something I battle with in my dyeing process 😊
Such a sweet video! A few questions for you; did you use a mordant and is your pot aluminum? I love how your project turned out!
Yes I mordanted with alum. And for this kind of project, the metal of the pot won’t effect the outcome. But yes it’s aluminium ♥️
Hi there! My daughter and I love this video and we have a question for you - I have some coreopsis growing in my garden right now, but I just had a baby so I'm not sure when I will get to this project 😂 Will this work with pressed / preserved / dried flowers, or only fresh? Thank you!
YESSSS!!! Press away and save them... this is exactly what I’ve been doing this year because.... baby 😆😆😆😆
Great
Thanks
I really loved your video. Questions please….how did you prepare your fabric before this video? Do you soak it or mist it with vinegar? How long did you steam your pieces? Do you set the colors with something after removing the flowers so you can wash and use the piece? Gentle in the washing machine after this process? Thank you! I will be watching for more eco-printing and dying.
Hey Cynthia, I believe most of these questions are answered in the video but in brief I premordanted with alum, dampened with water before steaming and steamed for about 20 ish minutes
I give all my pieces a hot steam Ron and then wash by hand with cool water and ph neutral soap
@@billynou Okay. Alum mordant. I've heard that metallic salts like alum are harmful to inhale while steaming. Do you know anything about that? So you don't wash your finished items in a washing machine after wearing the item? You hand wash in cool water with ph neutral soap to clean after using the item? Thank you so much. I love your channel.
Hey, loved the process. How long will it stay on the fabric, how many washes? Also, do fresh flowers or the dry ones have more life on the fabric?
This is a tricky question to answer as there are so many variables… but I usually have great colour durability washing gently with cool water …. And as for the flowers … some work just as well fresh and dry and others not so well … dye flowers are usually good both dry and fresh 🍃🌸🌼
Did you treat/mordant the fabric at all? Looks lovely x
Yes I mordanted it with alum ☺️
Could I use salt after dye and dry fabric.
Muhteşem 👏👏
💗
You explain it really well.
I just want to know your cloth in soak alum water.
Yes I did mordant this silk with alum but I used silk as an example because it’s not alway absolutely necessary to mordant silk 😊
What would you suggest for washing flower dyed fabrics? Cold water and by hand? ❤appreciate any advice ❤❤❤
I usually do cool water, ph neutral soap and by hand but depending also on fabric and flowers used, I do sometimes Chuck them in the washing machine too ☺️
I just had a eco print last week. We steamed the fabric for 90 mins. And wrap the fabric with slime fabric. You can try how it works next time.
Could u pls reply on how to do it like should we have to use vinegar or things like that. And how do we wash that? I want to do it on cotton. Will it be good? Pls reply 😊
thanks @BillyNou for the lovely video- do you scoure and mordant the fabric before?
Yes I absolutely do…. There are some exceptions of course but it’s usually a good idea ☺️
@@billynouand how do you do it? Is it okay if I just out it for 24h in soy milk?
hello I start by telling you that you, your family, your house and the splendid garden are beautiful. sorry, I have some questions if you can answer me, thanks. 1) can I also use cotton as fabrics? what thickness? 2) after buying the fabric, do I wash it without soap and let it dry? 3) all flowers and leaves color? 4) when I arrange the flowers and close with plastic, what does the water contain for boiling in a bain-marie? 5) how long? 6) do you use something to fix the color, like vinegar, lemon or nothing? Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey, same 😅. I want to do with 100℅ cotton too.
Did you make it? If yes, could you pls share details on How did it turn out? And also Could u pls pls reply with some tips you've used 😊
LOOOVE this video!! Any chance you'd be willing to share what kind of fabric you used? would linen or canvas material work.. maybe cheesecloth? 🥰 ALSO.. are there only specific types of flowers that will print or will pretty much all flowers and leaves imprint on the fabric? 💐
I’m using silk here and you can use any natural fiber with the proper pre treatment fixative. There are definitely flowers that work better than other ones like cosmos for example…. Experimenting is key 🔑
Hey prints are really nice. May i know how you get that print on you pants? So beautiful 💚
I bundle dyed them with marigolds and cochineal ☺️
do you know of any way to do this without a mordant? ive read some specific plants dont need it but have never seen it in practice, this was with boiling rather than steaming.
You can use soy milk… we have a soy milk video you can check out ☺️
Its lovely. Did you not use any mordant before eco-printing?
Yep I used alum
Cuanto tiempo a vapor? Gracias
From 15 minute to 30 minutes, depending on the flowers 🌸
hello , i loved the video. what a lovely technique but i had an inquiry if the print would be permanent or not
Hello… that’s a very common question… there’s lots of factors involved in how fast a colour or print is like, fabric, dye stuff, fixer used, how you care for the fabric etc etc but in general if you follow the right pretreatment and post care steps the colours can be incredibly long lasting 😊
Can you do the same technique on other fabric than silk?
Yes you can. You can do it on any natural fiber, silk is one of the easiest but as long as you properly mordant you can also do it on fibers like cotton and linen 😊
سلام من آنقدر از دیدن این خانواده لذت بردم که این کامنت رو نوشتم، بانو چقدر فرزندان شیرین و زیبایی دارید در وجود شما مهربانی و محبت موج میزند از طرف من این کوچولو و ببوسید خیلی بامزه است 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
💗💗
It looks so peaceful by the loch and love seeing the dogs having fun. Not sure if I have enough Indigo but they are growing and still mild with sunny days here so fingers crossed. Will check out your salt method .... Thank you. Have wonderful holiday .... Arriving rested. ❤
My indigo is minimal this year and I have my fingers crossed for a late harvest 🤞🏼
Just curious to know if we wash the clothe will the colour remains as it is??
There are lots of factors that determine how colourfast the dye is … including mordanting, dye used , fabric dyed and after care…. Some dyes stay better than others but it’s also about (imo) trying to redefine our relationship with the colours and how they express themselves… natural dyes are alive and may change over time or react to changes in environment… but this IS part of the charm ☺️ sometimes the faded colour of the naturally dyed item can look even more appealing than its original shade… having said all that, it is totally possible to keep the colours long lasting too 😉
I love this video, but does the colour go off when u wash
It all depends on so many factors… like pre treatment /post treatment / fabric and flowers used etc but actually I find that colours last much longer than people tend to think ☺️
That's a wonderful project ❤...do you buy your silk as is ? Or do you buy items made from silk ? I was wondering whether I could upcycle a plain white silk skirt 💚💚💚
You could absolutely do this on your skirt!
Silk is an excellent fiber for taking the dyes really well xx
@@billynou Thanks for your replies x
Hey this is so beautiful… i tried out this method but What can we do stop colour bleeding? When i wash with washing powder it turned out to someother colour… could you please help me with this!?
Hello… so I always give a good hot iron after, to kind of heat set the colours and make sure to let it dry before washing. Hand wash gently with cool water and it’s important to use ph neutral soap as often natural dyes are ph sensitive and can shift colour s 😊
@@billynou thank you so much mam💜
❤ beautiful I read something called mordanting in the comments . What exactly is mordanting?
Mordanting is where the fabric is prepared to accept the colour…. Another word is fixing or you would use a fixative like alum salts 🤎
How many washings does it last?
the yellow flower around 4:15 is st johns wort.
Thank you!
Do you need to soak the final piece in something to set the dye so it doesn't run?
You need to pre-mordant /pre fix before you dye ☺️
I have a shirt that I already dyed with avocado pits. Can I eco print it with flowers now?
Yes!! You may want to re mordant for extra colour 💥
Mam , how can I learn from you, I want to have a deep knowledge of natural dyes.
Hey, just a quick question
Does any flower work in this case,
or there should be some specific kind of flowers?
Some flowers work better than others
It’s really a case of trial and error but starting with things like marigolds, cosmos and coreopsis are a good start 🌸
Where do you buy the silks?
Also would like to know ^ ☺️
When you wash that Soo you have to seal it somehow?
I mordant the fiber first, before dyeing 😊
Does color fade?
How much time it keep in steam oven
Normally around 20 mins
Nope, I agree with your daughter, the lines from the string give it a nice texture.
😆 she’s always right
How long do we need to steam them for?
Depends how on what flowers /plant material you’re using but around 30 mins is usually good
Was the silk soaked in a mordant ?if so, what mordant did you use? Thank you.
Yes... I used alum 😊
@@billynou where do you find that? Are there easier/cheaper alternatives?
Glad I found ur channel..
Me too 🥰
Hi! I’m struggling getting these to come out on an organic cotton onesie. Is it the flowers I’m using? Is cotton harder to dye?
Hey love. Have you mordanted your cotton? Silk tends to take the colours much more readily than cotton but cotton can work really well as long as you scour (clean) and mordant your fibers properly first…. Some flowers do work better than others… try things like marigolds, coreopsis, red roses dyers chamomile, etc 💗
I do all same in this video but no print on fabrics
Do you use any chemical or any other things
In my pcs of cloth there is no print
Hi… so did you watch the video all the way through? What fabric did you use and what flowers ? I used silk which should work even withou mordanting but I did pre mordant it with alum 💗
@@billynou I used cotton nd normal flowers nd leaves pluk from home grow plants
What kind of plastic did you use?
Any kind of clear plastic will do... I just used some packaging from a delivery... you could also use baking parchment or sometimes even an extra layer of fabric does the trick ☺️
