Silk Organza Itajime Kimono Jacket

Itajime dyed silk organza. I dyed it navy then folded and clamped it, discharged it in thiox then while it was still folded and clamped, overdyed it red. Tomboy Design created the kimono pattern and finished it. The organza is double layered to make it less sheer and to create an interesting pattern in the background. I hope you like it! I just love it so much!

Here's how the piece below came out once I had dyed it. It took so long to tie up, but the result is definitely worth all the work.

I thought I'd show a before picture. This is silk velvet all tied up and ready to dip in the indigo vat. It took a while to tie these 3 yards up.

Chiffon Dishcharge

I did a black chiffon tied discharge for this piece. I can do approximately 3 yards at a time, otherwise it looks too black. I'm very happy with the result. Hope you are too!
