Tie dye dyeing: fill your garments with color

“You have reached the end of the course. Thank you for choosing me as your teacher. Now is your time to start your own final project. To start a new project it is important to be inspired, I recommend you look for your favorite artists, check their work and find the colors that you like the most, do not forget to put your favorite music in the background! Now yes ... let's get to work! I show you an example of how I would like to see your final project. Decide on the design Choose the figure or sample that you like the most to work on your project, in addition, arrange your space and prepare your tools. Prepare the colors you have selected, remember that you can generate new tones by combining different pigments and above all, do not forget to have a little more of each color, just in case.

The tie dye Begin to manipulate the fabric, you must first consider whether you want to work with a whole canvas or with each piece separately. Prepare the fabric for dyeing, mold the fabric until you feel confident that this is the shape you want, you can always remove the garters and start over. Once you are happy with how your fabric looks, it is time to apply the color. You can start with a superficial application and then deepen it by opening the folds of the fabric a little. Finalize your product Check that the application of the color is the one you want, also, check the reverse to see if the color has penetrated completely. Put the finishing touches. Let the fabric rest for 24 hours, then rinse and dry in the shade. Iron the fabric so you can cut it, if you haven't already. Cut all the molds you need to carry out your final project and make your project. Add details to personalize it like pockets, tucks or other tailoring details. Congratulations! You have managed to apply the tie dye technique to a project of your own! I hope you enjoyed the process as much as I do. Remember that you can leave me your questions in the forums. If for some reason you have decided to carry out your final project in a garment that you have not made and made, nothing happens. The point is that you know the tie dye technique, explore it and fall in love with it. I will be looking forward to seeing what you have created. Don't forget to upload your project. See you on the forum!”

“Final project We reached the end of the course, but before I go, I would like to talk to you about a couple of things. The "tie dye" is a very noble and simple technique to do, but it involves practicing and experimenting a lot. Personally it is a technique that has helped me a lot to relax a bit and occupy these errors as a starting point. In the presentation I told you that one of the biggest obstacles with whom I face daily is the fear that everything will go wrong or it doesn't go as planned. But practicing has helped me improve and include mistakes in my projects. I hope to see how you...”
