Shibori Folding - no 28



And finally, remember this one?



 
Again multiple coasters packed into the fabric:
 
And because of the safety dots, it is not so tight and therefore, the patterning of the dye is even nicer, this is really my favourite piece!

Hope that you enjoyed 30 days of folding fabric, and wish you happy dyeing!
