Continuing my experiments with fabric dyeing I produced this dress.
Firstly I accordion folded and clamped the cream wool jersey, then dyed it using acid dye - red and yellow mixed to make orange. After washing and drying fabric I cut out my pattern pieces - Butterick 6305.
After over-locking and pressing all pieces, I stamped them sort of randomly using three colours of Seta-silk opaque. The stamp is a hand carved Nepalese "Double Dorje" stamp, which is a Buddhist symbol. I bought the stamp in Daylesford, Victoria recently.
I really enjoy creating my own fabrics, knowing I am wearing something unique...what do you think?
