Shrivel Up & Dye

Combine hand-dyeing techniques with shrinkable fabrics for a completely original finish and brighten your home this summer with our textural cushion BY MARY MCINTOSH

A pack containing all the required fabrics is available to order for £20 from www.marymcintosh.co.uk or by emailing maryelmcintosh@gmail.com

TOP TIP! The silk viscose velvet will dye the brightest, so place as your focal points balanced across the piece.

TOP TIP! Vary the direction between horizontal lines and vertical lines of stitching – this helps to create the textured surface when shrunk.
