Time Lapse Shibori Binding
Someone asked for a timelapse video of my shibori binding process, so here it is. This is almost an hour of work compressed into 28 seconds. I'm binding half a yard of fabric into the Ori Nui design that I use for making my teeth masks. First I do a line of running stitches along a fold in the fabric, and after I've done seven of those lines, I pull all the threads tight, which gathers and pleats the fabric up along the stitched lines. After that, I gather the loose sections of fabric between the stitched lines and wrap around the outside with more thread. This produces the patterning on the fabric in the left panel below.

Dye day is coming up just as soon as I can complete 5 more of these panels!
