N2  - "Tie dye is something that most people can do, whatever their previous crafting experience and with little equipment needed. Inside, you'll master both basic and more advanced tie-dye styles project by project, using just hand-made dyes or eco-reactive dyes--from favorites such as bullseye, shibori, and kaleidoscope patterns to lesser-known must-haves like ice-dye and galaxy-effect designs. The beginning of the book includes a chapter on natural dyes and how to make them in your own kitchen, saving not just money but the environment too by avoiding the use of harsh chemicals. It will also discuss some eco-friendly alternatives for those who do not want to make their own dyes, as well as planet-friendly mordants that will ensure your dyed creations hold their color. Illustrated steps and clear instructions accompany all eleven projects and tie-dye techniques. Thrifted or upcycled garments and accessories are used to make all the projects, so you can see how once-loved or upcycled clothing easily turn into beautiful, vibrant pieces that you'll love to wear"--
