Pokeweed Berries

The Pokeweed berries are ripe! I picked some today and then pressed them to extract the juice. A small bucket yielded one and a half quarts! I soaked a tshirt and a piece of cotton fabric in vinegar then worked it into the spent berry mash. I can't wait to see the results and see how it holds up as a natural dye. P.S - do not eat these berries if they are growing in your area. Good for inks and dyes but not pie!

Shibori Indigo Dying

Spent an awesome day in VA with Leigh and Jennifer doing some Shibori Indigo dying. Making some super cute jersey infinity scarves and baby onesies - inventory for Curate Essentials!
