Figure out the fold

[ktaltre]

Can any of you see how I folded this?
It was one of my "what would happen if I did this" moments.
It's a simple fold.



I'll tell you, but I want some guesses first............

Ooh, neat effect!

Lessee..... Fold in half lengthwise, then make a 60-degree fold back upward, then another. (Just tried it with paper and it seems it'd do the trick.)

How'd I do? (With my fold or my description.... LOL)

[ktaltre]

Hey Deb.........yea! you're right so far, but then what did I do after the fold (besides dye it)?

Did you then spiral it?

Dang, I'm gonna have to sacrifice a shirt and double-check my work! LOL

Yeah, I'll go with spiralling it, like a spider twist.

[ktaltre]

Yes! You fold the fabric in half, then in wedge thirds, then spiral from the point.
I place the end of a dowel on the point and twirl - I take the dowel off after a couple of twirls.
I've been using rubber bands on this one.
And don't saturate the center for nice patterning.
I haven't done it on a shirt yet - this one is on flannel and I've done it on dishtowels.
I'll try to remember to take pics next time....

Funny, you copying yourself having tought time...but this had happened to me as well.

I have one soaking in soda ash ATM, a sheer juniors' tee. I'll have to report back later if/when I get a chance to dye it.
