Welcome To My Presentation: Natural Dyeing of Garments

MD. Noor-A-Asif Roman presented on natural dyeing of garments using cherries. The presentation introduced the speaker and discussed how cherries produce a pale red color when used to dye fabrics. The dye preparation process involves soaking fabrics in a saltwater solution, then simmering them in a cherry and water mixture. After dyeing, the fabrics are shocked in the dyed water before rinsing. A video demonstrated the dyeing process.

Introduction:
Natural dyes are dyes or colorants derived from plants or minerals. The
majority of natural dyes are vegetable dyes from plant sources
roots, berries, bark, leaves, and wood and other biological sources such
as fungi.

*To dyeing I chose as my choice in CHERRY fruits, because:

Cherry dye gives a lovely pale red color that is close to raspberry dye; as
with the raspberry dye, fabrics dyed with cherries should be soaked
overnight if you’d like a more vibrant result. Again, this dye takes the best
to unbleached, pale fabrics.
While there are certainly varieties of cherries that turn a bright, vivid red, other
varieties exist that appear much darker, almost purple. People often call these dark
cherries “black cherries." Rainier cherries, sometimes called “white cherries,"
have white flesh with a skin that turns yellowish-pink when ripe.

Preparation:
1. Put ¼ cup salt in 4 cups water. Add your fabric. If the water does not
cover your fabric, continue adding water and salt in a 16:1 ratio until your
fabric is submerged.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer for about an hour. This
creates a fixative that will help your fabric hold the color better, and
which helps set the dye in the fabric.
3. Once finished, rinse your fabric in cold water and squeeze the excess
water from it.

Dye:

1. Put 1 cup of fruit and 4 cups of water in your saucepan.

2. Bring the water to the boil, then add your fabric. If you have several
yards of fabric, you will need to keep increasing the recipe, in a 1:4 fruit
to water ratio, until your fabric is fully submerged. Simmer gently for at
least 20 minutes (I took mine off the heat after 30 minutes and left it to
cool).

3. Take the saucepan off the heat and put it, with the fabric and the
dyed water still in it, aside to cool.
4. Then the earlier wet fabrics put down on the cherries boil water and
should be shocked for a while.
