Create Elegance and Design with Simple Stitches

Shibori artist and indigo dyer Debbie Maddy, the instructor behind the popular Organic Indigo Vats, is letting you in on all the secrets behind shibori stitch resist methods. Traveling the world to learn the art of shibori, Debbie is an experienced instructor who will guide you each step of the way. Stitches act as a “resist” so the dye cannot stain certain areas of the fabric. Using this method, you can draw with the thread to create unique, beautiful designs.

With a list of supplies and shibori fabrics on hand, you'll begin your stitch resist journey by learning how to mark your fabrics. Debbie demonstrates several design variations that can be achieved from a basic running stitch. You'll learn more complex stitches for stunning design results and how to finish your final fabrics with Debbie's tips for a high-quality look. Bundle this course with Organic Indigo Vats to learn how to create your own organic indigo dyeing vat.
