Nui-shibori Hand Sewing
Most traditional Japanese Shibori kimonos are created with a variety of hand stitches that are pulled up tightly before dyeing. Of all the traditional techniques this is the most pictorial.
I like to call this “drawing with stitches”. Ana Lisa gives instruction that assures even a beginner to achieve a clear design against the dyed cloth. Included in this workshop are instructions for Mokume woodgrain, Karamatsu larch, and Ori-nui lines. She invites the stitcher to experiment with contemporary variations. There are no limits!

Smocking Pleater for Shibori

Smocking Pleater Stitched Moiré
I fell in love with the possibilities of the Smocking Pleater when I discovered a moire effect. The first step is to stitch and gather the fabric for dyeing. Small stripes are created, and if this is run through the tool a second time the stripes are distorted and a moire pattern is made. This is especially effective when the moire fabric is held together in modular shapes for clothing, accessories, or art textiles.
