The fascinating Japanese art of resist dyeing, or shibori, is one of the richest textile traditions in the world, dating back to the 8th century. Shibori art can often be seen on traditional kimonos and obi sashes. Full of beautiful home projects that are simply and easy to make, Simply Shibori shows how plain fabrics can be dyed and upcyled into stunning home décor.

Including step-by-step instructions for every project, this treasure trove of attractive projects includes an assortment of cushions, covers, pillows, clothing and accessories, up-cycled lampshades, table runner, and napkins, to name just a few.

Simply This is a craft book that celebrates natural tones, organic textures and found objects. Fiona Fagan shows you how to print your own beautifully patterned fabric using stencils that can easily be found around the home. The book also includes over 30 projects you can then use to create a unique gift or something special for yourself, for any area of your home – the bedroom, the kitchen or the living room.

Recycle – using found or treasured materials to embellish and add to your designs, making each project different. Spend a morning or a weekend to create a new look to your dining room, bedroom, kitchen or bathroom. Add a designer touch to your personal objects as well.

Linen and cotton are ideal for these projects and with some simple recycling, the projects are inexpensive to make. The fabric-dyeing processes are cheap, safe and easy to do in any home kitchen with no messy chemicals or complicated processes. Includes step-by-step photography to guide you through each stage.
