Fabulous “Fiber Arts Fun” Camp
During "Fiber Arts Fun" camp campers learned to:
tie-dye shirts
dye fabric using fiber reactive dyes
indigo dye shirts and fabric
use a sewing machine to sew their fabric blocks and pillow case
embroider embellishments on their pillows
use freezer paper printing technique to embellish their pillows
create crayon batik designs to embellish their pillows
weave
use Sharpie and rubbing alcohol to create a more controlled tie-dye effect.
It was INTENSE and we had soooo much fun!
