Progressive step-by-step exercises give full instructions for creating the various dyeing and distortion effects, but the emphasis is always on creativity and constant experimentation.

  • The importance of fabric type which fabrics work, which don't and how to tell the difference.
  • Using pre-dyed fabric for enhanced contrast.
  • Incorporating lace and other embellishments.
  • Using cord and braids.
  • Including buttons for texture and distortion
