00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,320
OK, so here we are,
 part three of our tote bag tutorial.

2
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,320
So, so far, we've sewn a tote bag.

3
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,520
We've done some foil heat press.

4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,240
And last thing we're going to look at
 is disperse dye.

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,760
So disperse dyeing is a dyeing technique

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,200
and that involves the heat press again.

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,160
So usually the disperse dye will come in

8
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,240
a powder form like this.

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,440
And what we do is
 we dissolve it in lukewarm water.

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,240
Obviously, the more powder you have, the
 more saturated color you're going to get.

11
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,240
So you can have a go
 at kind of mixing those ratios together.

12
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,720
It's a bit of practice, basically. 

13
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,640
And all you need is once
 you've got your colors mixed,

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,080
you just need a plain piece of paper

15
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,760
and then you can
 start painting on a design.

16
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,280
So what I find works
 really well with disperse

17
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,320
is just painting 

18
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:24,200
colors onto the surface. Like so.

19
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,960
And you can layer them up. 

20
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:48,920
And really they work
 similar to Watercolors.

21
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,040
So if you're an illustrator,
 you can paint, you know, spend hours

22
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,400
kind of making a beautiful design.

23
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,520
But if you want to free form it, 

24
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,440
then you can just go. Straight in.

25
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:20,440
And kind of build up patterns. OK.

26
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,120
And then you might want to wait
 for your designs to dry

27
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,440
before you layer them up
 or you will get some bleeding

28
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,920
like I've just done,
 but I'm just going for it.

29
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,120
Then you can cut out the shapes.

30
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:48,200
OK, and I'm thinking again
 about my design,

31
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,000
so I'm going to cut
 these into some petals.

32
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,560
And you can mix colors together as well,

33
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,760
so if you wanted, again, to achieve

34
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,320
a different color,
 you can mix them together

35
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,480
on a palette like you would
 if you were using watercolors.

36
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,720
OK, I think I've got enough hair.

37
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:19,840
So we'll move over to the heat press now.

38
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,280
And one thing I should mention is

39
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,440
the colors might not come out
 that vibrantly because I'm using a cotton.

40
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,640
when using disperse dye It's
 always better to use synthetic fabrics.

41
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:43,520
So actually something
 like a kind of polyester

42
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,920
satin that's got a bit of a sheen to it.

43
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,160
Anything with a kind of polyester
 in the disperse dye

44
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,840
will work really well on. 

45
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,360
So I've got my pattern. 

46
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,320
I'm going to lay my petals down.

47
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,480
Get my vinyl sheet again.

48
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,960
Pull it down until it clicks. 

49
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,040
Heat proof gloves. 

50
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,040
And then let's see. 

51
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,360
And there we have it.
