SIAMESE KITTY BANDANA
We are so excited to launch another product. Welcome to the Usagi family, the Siamese Kitty Bandana. Our bandana is digitally printed in full color on cotton, hemmed then over dyed in a soft pink using madder root. We couldn't be happier with our next travel essential.
I never go anywhere with out at least one bandana. They make for good napkins while eating on the go, head bands while working out, emergency hanky, neck warmers, and even face protectors in cold weather, and dusty places. Oh, and you can wear it around your neck too.

DYEING THE SIAMESE KITTY BANDANA
We are using madder root and a little tannic acid from chestnuts to dye our Siamese Kitty bandanas. Unlike our Multifunction Scarves, which take three days to mordant and overnight to dye. The bandanas soak in an alum mordant overnight and get a quick dip in our dye pot.

DRIP DYE AND EMBROIDERY
Adding to our last post about soya milk, madder and iron, we have been continuting to experiment.
Our latest, dipping a madder dyed dress in iron water and hanging to dry, letting the iron slowly creep down the fibers of the fabric. This left a sutbly colored, almost cartoonish like gray drip pattern on the dress.
Of course, we had to add a bit of embroidery. This dress, being reversible, can be worn with the v neck or the scoop neck. We added a bit of stitching to the v neck side, but is not to bold to be worn down the back of the dress.
