Projects
Marker-Pen Tie-Dye Shirt
Watching marker ink spread through fabric with a splash of rubbing alcohol shows how liquids carry colour along fibres, making swirling firework patterns.
Vegetable-Print Tote Bag
Dipping cut vegetables in fabric paint and stamping them shows how a shape can be printed again and again, and reveals the surprising patterns hidden inside everyday veg.
Chevron Friendship Bracelet
Knotting embroidery threads in a repeating pattern teaches sequencing and pattern-making, and rewards patience with a wearable stripey band.
No-Sew Knotted Fleece Cushion
Tying fringes into knots to join two layers shows how fabric can be fastened without any sewing at all, and builds neat, patient finger work.
🔒 PremiumCardboard-Loom Woven Mat
Weaving over-and-under on a homemade loom teaches the basic structure of all woven cloth and builds rhythm, focus and fine motor control.
