Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve stitched up a few more mini-shibori experiments to use as studies for something larger that I have in mind. I finally had a chance to dye them yesterday and am sharing the results here- perhaps mostly just to remind myself that I did them. Once again, I didn’t take any pictures of these “in process.” I still mean to do that, perhaps with the bigger piece that I have in mind for my next project. I did find a nice little stitched shibori tutorial online that shows some of the possibilities here:

This one was stitched using the stitch pattern from “step 1″ of the tutorial above:
The rest of these were stitched using the stitch from “step 4″ of the same tutorial:
Spiral
Heart
Curve
“Peace” on a scrap of an old t-shirt

They’re pretty! I do a lot of stitch-resist shibori too, and I love the detail of design you can get with it. Nice work.
