Great video! I have been looking for new ways to add a fresh look to my wardrobe without spending large amounts of money and to incorporate with sewing. This is perfect for what I am creating. Thank you!
Amazing!!! Thank you!!! I am going to Japan soon and just learned about this fascinating style. I have to see what you do with the dyed fabric… its so beautiful!!!
What a great tutorial, Justine! Your camera angles were perfect, and everything was well explained. I love the PVC Chevron pattern at the end. What a great technique. I have never seen that before. Keep it up!
Fantastic tutorial! One of the most professional I’ve seen yet! Your instructions were clear, and the results were beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing!
SO fun! I have made four pieces today, two more on a dowel ready to dye (one I will paint dye on). I have been working with alcohol ink and fabric paint over the last month, and tried (failed) at eco printing on fabric, also played with dye and ice. I was ready to give up until I watched your video. Your directions were great, no intimidation or missed steps. Thank you! I will incorporate some origami folding too. Allison
Hi Allison, that's great! It should be fun, that's the point right?! I definitely took some practice to get to this point, but I hope my video helps. I love ice dyeing, maybe I'll do a video on that soon!
This is so cool! I've been wanting to learn this but have been timid about it. You've simplified it enough that it makes sense to me. Now I can't wait to try. Thanks.
Hi there! 😊 Just wanted to drop by and say how much I enjoyed this video! The PVC technique is great. I featured it in my latest blog post, which was a hit with my readers. Keep up the fantastic work!
Wow this is such a perfect video! So well presented and explained. I was looking for some ideas to dye a couple of my large cushion covers. I'm inspired... thank you!
❤ Thank you so much for sharing this dying method and the various folding/wrapping techniques to achieve different patterns. I’m always on the lookout for simple and inexpensive crafts to teach to my seniors living in an independent living facility or attending a senior citizen center as well as my 4-H clubs and campers. Next I’ll teach various ways to wear a scarf. 😊
Thank you for this great tutorial!! The instructions are very clear and the results are beautiful. I want to recreate some patterns with my students in school, the only question I have now is how long did you soak the fabric in the dye?
Great Tutorial!! Two questions. 1- can I use a premixed tye dye dye? 2- I want stripes on either end of the fabric and plain in the middle. Would I wrap both ends on the PVC pipe and leave the middle with no wrapping. I am going to give it a try. Thanks again for the perfect tutorial!!
Hi! yes - you can used pre-mixed dye! If you want to keep your fabric plain, you'll need to keep it free of dye. You can do this by getting squirt bottles (search mustard/ketchup bottles online), and squeezing dye onto ONLY the areas that you want dyed. Hope that helps!
Really great video! I’m wondering if you’ve ever used two colors of die on the PVC pipe techniques, for example immersing in one color, then while still wet, immersing that same material in another color of that spectrum?
I have! I should probably make another video on dip dyeing shibori! It's not that different than the video I've shown! You can also use a squeeze bottle to apply the second color - like a mustard bottle. Thanks for watching :)
Thank you for sharing. How long do you normally keep the fabric in the dye before removing it? I just learned about shibori tye dying, so I'm a newbie. I can't wait to try this, and I am also excited to see more of your videos.
I usually leave it in for 20-30 minutes, though it can vary depending on the brand/color you're using. Check the directions on your dye and it should tell you what will work best!
I just used vinegar on this dye. I tried to keep it to just the folding technique in case people wanted to use different dyes, but usually I use soda ash with the Procion dye line :)
I think I may have pre-soaked in Soda Ash, but I'm not sure I said so in the video. I like the one that Jacquard makes. You can also use white vinegar to help bind the dye to your fabric!
Hi Justine, awesome video! I do reactive dye and I wanted to know why you soak you items in clear water before placing in the dye? We soak in soda ash so the dye attaches to the fabric. Should I take the items I am doing and tie them, then soak in soda ash? Can I tie damp after the SA soak? Thank you so much
You can soak in water with soda ash and then tie dye while it's damp. I didn't include it in this video because I wasn't sure everyone needs to "fix" their dye, but if you're looking to dye a garment, or make something "colorfast," soda ash is definitely the way to go. I always feel that a pre-soak with or without soda ash. I think helps keep the white lines crisp.
I let it sit for around 30 minutes. If you want it more saturated, you can always leave in for longer, or use more dye in your dye bath. :) Hope that helps!
It's a drainage PVC pipe ~4" wide. I got it in the plumbing section of HD. I left it in the dye for 20-30, but check the package of the brand you're using!
Thanks for a great video! I did this yesterday with Rit Dye. My question is why do I have so many really white undyed areas compared to yours. The dye did not seem to reach as much and my pieces have too much white area in them. I’m going to refold them and overdye them with another color….want to figure out how to get that color to reach those areas. My thought is that I did all the folding dry and I should’ve done it with the fabric damp. I did pre-soak it. How long did you leave fabric in dye bath?
Hmm, It may just be that whatever you used to clamp was too big? I did all of my folds with the fabric dry, and it still bled a little bit. The blue in this video bled a little into the white on the rinse - I wish they had stayed crisp white! I think I left it in for about 30 mins.
Ahhhh I'm terrified. I'm testing this out on a T-shirt before I dye my *nine yards of red fabric black*. This might be the single stupidest idea I've ever had...but I trust you. I'll give you an update when I finish it.
Great tutorial - just wondering what size your pieces of fabric were? I'd like to try it with a couple of metres and then make some clothes with it. Would this be doable? Thanks!
Hi Lucy, mine was roughly 2'W x 6'L, but I've done much larger - like bed sheet size! You'll probably need to play around with a folding technique to best fit the size of your fabric. If you're planning on doing the wrap technique, it's much easier to use smaller pieces of fabric and piece them together for a consistent color throughout!
I’ve been researching tie dye, which seems the same thing. Am I correct? Also do you use soda ash? I like this video’s techniques, trying to look for something simple to do for my grandson
Tie dye and Shirbori are both forms of "resist" dying, which I talk about a little in the beginning of this video. Shibori is a traditional Japanese technique, and sometimes its not 'really' considered tie dying because it doesn't always involve ties - sometimes you use blocks clamped together. But it's all very similar. You can use soda ash for natural fabrics - I added a link to my favorite in the description of this video. Just follow the instructions on the package! Hope that helps!
Thank you! This is incredibly helpful! I'm debating how to dye some linen- blend curtains to conceal an office space. I've seen some of Riah's gorgeous tie-dye tapestries, but they intimidate me! :) Yours are inspiring! I'm wondering what the chevron would look like either dip-dyed or ombre... 🤔
Once you get the tie/binding part down, you can definitely experiment with color! Don't be intimidated, part of the fun is not knowing how it'll turn out until you untie!
Remember that the dye will take up differently with linen vs. whatever your blend is. Also, are the fibers a blend, or is the linen used for the weft and another fiber used for the other different direction?
Very helpful explanations, Justine! But you say to untie everything right after rinsing, and I saw other shibori instructions that said to let the fabric dry before untying. Do you think that's not necessary? I haven't tried any of this yet!
Hi! I've done it both ways. I've done it both ways, with great results both times, so it's really up to you! The reason I didn't let it dry in this video is because I used cardboard "blocks" that were already starting to disintegrate from the water. I've seen people use wood or plexiglass that would probably have been better. Give it a shot, and see what works best for you!
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! My daughter is planning to do some art tutorials on TH-cam, and we were wondering what camera and lighting you use to make your videos.
Fun! I always try to set up in natural lighting - but there are some great kits on Amazon. I'm shooting on a DSLR, but a lot of people go for the Canon GX7 Mark ii as a beginner point an shoot for youtube. Good luck and have fun!!
I have a link to the dye in the video description - I love iDye - I just cut open the little packet and pour it in. Procion Dye also has some great colors that are fun to play with :)
Justine , I followed your instructions and did the option with the PVC tube, it came out just like yours gorgeous. The problem is that I was planning to use the fabric to sew a shirt for myself. So, I used, or roll in the tube, two yards of fabric. By this time was my third time doin it, I thought, that in the first two times I did not tide enough the tread,cord, so this time I used a thicker one and tide real tight. Well , the same thing happened, because was so much fabric the dye was absorb only on the very last two rolls. I left immersed in the dye for one hour and ,when I opened 80% of the fabric was white did not absorbed any dye. Any suggestions about how can I followed your style,but with two and a half yards of fabric. I used a much ticker pipe pvc but did not work either. Thanks Beto
Hi Beto, I've had exactly the same thing happen to me. I'd suggest cutting your fabric down into smaller pieces if you can, and dying them on separate poles. Unless, of course, that messes up the pattern of your shirt. For example: can the pattern pieces be cut from 1 yard squares? If so, I'd put 1 yard on each pole. Tying it tighter won't help because a tighter bind will actually cause MORE resist, leaving more of the fabric white. You can also try searching "Arashi technique for extra large fabric." Good luck!!
Justine - I am wanting to dye very large pieces of fabric. I was intending to dye it outside and rinse it with my garden hose. You recommend using hot water first, then turning to cold water to rinse the dye. Do you think there would be a problem if I never used hot water to rinse it? Do you think there is a chance of the dye streaking?
Hey Justine, you are doing a great job. I have a question that whenever I do shibori dye doesn't penetrate inside the fabric. Please help me with it as I want to try on a larger fabric.🙂
Hi Ilma! Double check what type of fabric you are using. If it's synthetic (polyester etc.) you will need to use a dye made for synthetic materials. If you are using 100% natural fabirc, you can always use soda ash or vinegar in your dye bath to help the colors penetrate into the fabric. I usually use vinegar because it's cheap and easy to have on hand. Hope that helps!
Hi Wendy! I didn't get too much into dye-mixing in this video because I was focused more on the folds. You can usually use vinegar or soda ash when you're dyeing natural fabrics. I can do another video on the best ways to mix/ get dye to work. Best advice is to follow the instructions on the bottle :)
I like the Procion Dyes too! I always follow whatever the directions say... but I'm pretty loose about how long I leave my stuff in. I'll check periodically, but if I want it darker, I'll just leave it in longer! Good luck!
If you want to do them in multiple colors, you can use a dye kit that comes with squeeze bottles and simply squeeze the dye on. (Just like you would tie dye)
Thank you! It will probably work with natural dye (like the one linked in the video description), but the colors might not be quite as vibrant because they won't stick to the 5% polyester. You can also add soda ash or vinegar into the dye bath to help the colors bond to the cotton more. Good luck and have fun!
Beautiful! I just tried 12 napkins with several different patterns and the dye soaked under all my boards, popsicle sticks, string and clamps. I only soaked them in dye about 5 minutes. I have only a faint design, mostly covered by dye, I am so disappointed. What did I do wrong?
Hmm that's odd! I wonder if they were not bound tight enough. Also, I soak mine in plain water first, and THEN dye. when you pull out of the dye, make sure to rinse while everything is still tied until the water runs clear. That way when you untie, the whites will stay cripser. Good luck!
This is such an excellent instructional video. Id recommend it for anyone
Thank you!

@@JustineSilva ah yes I had heard! I hope there’s a second season as well. Keep up the outstanding work
I LOVE it
Thank you!
Great! Just one question, for how long the fabric needs to soaked in dye?
I left mine in for about 20 minutes. You can always leave in longer if you want a more saturated color. Always do a test piece first :)
In my experience I just do the whole 24 hours plus it’s very satisfying waiting
24 hrs
as a long time tie dyer always looking for new techniques. love the video!however what about soda ash ?
I just used vinegar on this dye. I tried to keep it to just the folding technique in case people wanted to use different dyes, but usually I use soda ash with the Procion dye line :)
This is really cool. Thanks! Did you ever use soda ash in this technique? I think you said you just soaked in water first.
I think I may have pre-soaked in Soda Ash, but I'm not sure I said so in the video. I like the one that Jacquard makes. You can also use white vinegar to help bind the dye to your fabric!
Awesome thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤
Loved it.,👌

I left it in for 30 minutes. Check the back of your specific dye instructions!
Great techniques! How long did you let the fabric sit in the dye?
I let it sit for around 30 minutes. If you want it more saturated, you can always leave in for longer, or use more dye in your dye bath. :) Hope that helps!
Hi, love the effect of using the PVC pipe. Beautiful results. What size was the pipe in the video? How long did you soak in the dye?
It's a drainage PVC pipe ~4" wide. I got it in the plumbing section of HD. I left it in the dye for 20-30, but check the package of the brand you're using!

Very helpful explanations, Justine! But you say to untie everything right after rinsing, and I saw other shibori instructions that said to let the fabric dry before untying. Do you think that's not necessary? I haven't tried any of this yet!
Hi! I've done it both ways. I've done it both ways, with great results both times, so it's really up to you!

Hi Beto, I've had exactly the same thing happen to me. I'd suggest cutting your fabric down into smaller pieces if you can, and dying them on separate poles. Unless, of course, that messes up the pattern of your shirt. For example: can the pattern pieces be cut from 1 yard squares? If so, I'd put 1 yard on each pole.
Tying it tighter won't help because a tighter bind will actually cause MORE resist, leaving more of the fabric white. You can also try searching "Arashi technique for extra large fabric." Good luck!!
Justine - I am wanting to dye very large pieces of fabric. I was intending to dye it outside and rinse it with my garden hose. You recommend using hot water first, then turning to cold water to rinse the dye. Do you think there would be a problem if I never used hot water to rinse it?

Hey Justine, you are doing a great job. I have a question that whenever I do shibori dye doesn't penetrate inside the fabric. Please help me with it as I want to try on a larger fabric.🙂
Hi Ilma! Double check what type of fabric you are using. If it's synthetic (polyester etc.) you will need to use a dye made for synthetic materials. If you are using 100% natural fabirc, you can always use soda ash or vinegar in your dye bath to help the colors penetrate into the fabric. I usually use vinegar because it's cheap and easy to have on hand. Hope that helps!
On the link for the dye it shows 3 colors. Which blue did you use in the video? Thank you :)
I just updated it to the brilliant blue iDye. They also make the most vibrant turquoise which I love.
AWESOME
thank you!
thanks! You don't seem to use a fixative of any kind. Is that because the dye is hot? or is it a storebought dye that has fixative in it?
Hi Wendy! I didn't get too much into dye-mixing in this video because I was focused more on the folds. You can usually use vinegar or soda ash when you're dyeing natural fabrics.

If you want to do them in multiple colors, you can use a dye kit that comes with squeeze bottles and simply squeeze the dye on. (Just like you would tie dye)
Beautiful work!! I have a fabric that’s 95% cotton and 5% polyester. Do you think it will work? Thanks :)
Thank you! It will probably work with natural dye (like the one linked in the video description), but the colors might not be quite as vibrant because they won't stick to the 5% polyester. You can also add soda ash or vinegar into the dye bath to help the colors bond to the cotton more.
Good luck and have fun!
They have some dye powders and liquids for poly blends.
the pvc wrap is Arashi technique, right?
Yep! I never knew the technical name for it. Thanks!
@@JustineSilva no problem! You do shibori so well! I forgot how to do them tbh 😅
Beautiful! I just tried 12 napkins with several different patterns and the dye soaked under all my boards, popsicle sticks, string and clamps. I only soaked them in dye about 5 minutes. I have only a faint design, mostly covered by dye, I am so disappointed. What did I do wrong?
Hmm that's odd! I wonder if they were not bound tight enough. Also, I soak mine in plain water first, and THEN dye. when you pull out of the dye, make sure to rinse while everything is still tied until the water runs clear. That way when you untie, the whites will stay cripser. Good luck!
In an earlier post she mentions that she left hers in for about 20 minutes.
Wow! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
Do you soak your items in a vinegar/water solution after you rinse?
I didn't, but you can add a cup of vinegar to your dye bath to help the dye 'stick' to the fibers of the fabric!
@@JustineSilva Oh ok... I rinsed mine in plain water and then did a vinegar bath for 30 min.
Can I save the dye bath and use it later?
If I can - for how long?
I don't like to save dye for that long, It can get kind of funky if you leave it sitting. Wouldn't recommend.
If you want to make the prints shapes smaller do you make the folds smaller
Yes, smaller folds mean more intricate patterns, but you can also get different markings by tying on more ties (or popsicle sticks etc).
