Tie Dye - Dye It, Wear It, Share It

by Shabd Simon-Alexander

Tie Dye - Dye It, Wear It, Share It

A new twist on Tie Dye...

After many years of research exploration and loving labor, longtime Dharma customer Shabd Simon-Alexander has brought us a beautiful new book devoted to bringing an udated perspective to the ancient art and craft of tie dye. This georgeous book beautifully illustrates the fact that tie dye has transcended the rainbow spiral. Yes, she does explore the traditional 'American' tie dye patterns we all know and love, but Shibori, dip dyeing, ombre (gradient) dyeing, splattering and more are also covered in beautiful detail. 

As pretty as it is, this is not just a coffee table book. Packed with Shabd's design secrets, color guidance and expert tips for making each piece distinctly your own along with twenty-two step by step projects for garments, accessories and more (all of which can be easily customized to fit your own taste and style) this book will inspire and educate the new tie dyer and veteran alike. It will never be the "same ol" tie dye again.

p.s. Buy it, you'll like it.

I bought it and I like it! I appreciate that the author explains the "why and how" of dyeing. With this information it's easy to add your own creative twist. There are lots of inspiring photos of garments that people I know would actually wear. All in all a really useful and handy reference book.

Very disappointed in this book. If it was advertised as a tie dye for beginners book (think tie dye for dummies or anything from the Klutz line of products) it would be a great book. I was so excited to get this book in the mail and jump right into it. Most of the book is dedicated to explaining things to people who have never dyed before and there are zero "secrets" as promised. Lots of pretty pictures but there is not a single "alternative technique" in the book. Just very basic run of the mill dyeing instructions for novice tie dyers. If you've already figured out how to do a spiral and dip or stitch a picture into the front of your shirt don't waste your money on this book. Super bummed. Maybe I'll give it as a gift to the next person who asks me to teach them how to dye.

I have never dyed fabric in my life and with the instructions in this book and the great products from Dharma I was able to create a masterpiece throw for my toddler's bed. I am impressed and hooked on this new craft. I am sure I will be dying everything now.

Ive always loved Tie Dye since I was little. This book reintroduced it to me many years later. Im a 3rd fashion design student and I made a 12 piece collection thanks to this book. Everything is vary clear and easy to understand. The charts are super helpful and my favorite part about it. This is my constant guid when ever I dye my fabricsclothes.
