Indigo is one of the colours of the rainbow, as easily recognised as it is fashionable. From its origins as a naturally produced dye, most common in India, to its ubiquitous appearance in blue jeans today, indigo has travelled far and wide. Nicola Gouldsmith shows you how to use indigo to dye fabric in different ways, including dip-dyeing, tie-dyeing, batik, shibori, and arashi, as well as basic plain dyeing. She then shows you how to use the results of your dyeing to make beautiful items to wear and for the home, such as a tie-dyed t-shirt, a batik wall hanging and a dip-dyed shawl. With the help of the clear step-by-step instructions for each project, a full section in each chapter explaining the relevant method of dyeing, and a techniques section to explain any sewing or other skills needed, you will soon be able to create your own indigo world.

A wonderful source of information and ideas

I am new to dying and, this book provides clear, straightforward instructions on the process of using indigo to dye, in conjunction with patterning techniques such as dip-dying, wax resist printing, stenciling, and tie dying, to produce stunning effects. The books project ideas will ensure that so that your beautifully patterned fabric will not end up sitting in a cupboard. These are projects which are truely practical and gorgeous! - how about dying and patterning fabric for your own curtains or blinds, making a bolster pillow, cushion or using it to make a child's teepee? - all are explained in meticulous detail with clear diagrams and instructions. The methods are also straightforward and I would say that most projects are suitable for even a beginner with just a little sewing experience. A beautifully illustrated book which makes indgo dyeing accessible, and which will fascinate and inspire.

Great for beginners

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2014

For any dyer, indigo holds an attraction like no other colour. It is used in many parts of the world. It is my favourite dye and I have made a dye vat before. This book explores seven different dyeing techniques and thirty projects to use the dyed fabric. The techniques include dip-dyeing, batik and tie-dye. There are step-by-step instructions for the projects such as a t-shirt, window blind or needlecase. Templates are given at the back of the book. I love the dip-dyed pillow with a touch of embroidery, the heart garland is sweet, the batik Roman blind and stencil ideas. The techniques explored are simple and I would have liked to have seen them taken further but I would say this book is suitable for beginner indigo dyers.
