Guntai and Makiage are two traditional types of Shibori that involve combining stitching and binding together to make crisp, defined shapes within a clear border.

When combined and repeated they can make wonderful textiles.

It is recommended that this kit is bought in conjunction with one of my online classes. See https://www.romordesigns.com/guntai-and-makiage-shibori for details and to book.

Kit includes:

White cotton tote bag, needle, 10 metres strong bonded nylon thread, air or water soluble marker pen, templates for making makiage and guntai shapes.

IMPORTANT:

You will not receive the whole reel of thread shown in the image, just 10m of it, which should be enough to sew all the motifs you need for your project.

The colour of the thread you receive may be different to that shown in the picture.

The pen you receive may be a different brand to the one shown in the picture.

In order to dye your bag you will need to source a packet of Dylon hand dye in a colour of your choice, 250g of table salt, a plastic bucket, a stirrer and rubber gloves. Then you can dye your work at home.

NOTE: This kit is to purchase alongside my Makiage and Guntai class, should you have already booked the class.
