Sonja is a trained tailor, fashion design student and has been a close partner of the receiving stolen goods business for over 3 years. She will share her experience of two special techniques with you in our master classes. As with our hacks, you will also get to put them into practice and can use the tricks directly with Sonja's support.
The master class among tie-dye dyeing techniques are the "Shibori" dyeing techniques. By twisting, pressing, wrapping, squeezing or sewing the natural materials, we create unique, artistic patterns using color. So grab your cord, pliers and paint and let's get started!

STRAIGHT OUTTA KITCHEN
A simple white shirt is too boring for you? Or does it have a small stain here and there? Then bring a little color into play and re-dye your shirt, pillowcase or scarf! You don't even need to buy any dyes, you can simply dye them with food or spices that you probably already have at home. So: a quick inspection in the kitchen and you're ready to go!
STENCIL PRINTS
If a simple shirt without a motif is too boring for you, you can easily spice up your shirt with your own motifs using textile paint and a stencil! Whether it's a large pattern or a small appliqué, there are no limits to your creativity. In just a few steps, you can create your very own individual shirt that no one else has. Let's get started!
POTATO ROLL
You're probably already familiar with potato printing. With the Potato Roll you can take the potato printing technique to a new level! The roll allows you to print long strips, for example along the sleeves or waistband of a shirt. You can even print in multiple colors without any problem. So, check if you have potatoes at home and you're ready to go!
SHIBORI
The master class among tie-dye dyeing techniques are the "Shibori" dyeing techniques. By twisting, pressing, wrapping, squeezing or sewing the natural materials, we create unique, artistic patterns using color. So grab your cord, pliers and paint and let's get started!
SCREEN PRINTING
Have you always wanted to print your own shirts and maybe even design your own fashion line? With the screen printing technique, you can easily print multiple shirts, hoodies, denim jackets or any other cotton fabric. To do this, you can make your own screen that you can use again and again. The whole thing is a bit tricky, but with a little practice, nothing will stand in the way of your homemade collection!
SUN, MOON AND COLORS
Spring is just around the corner and your old white shirt could use a few fresh colors? Then you can easily recolor your shirt with the help of sunshine and a few ingredients from the kitchen or garden!
TEE BAG
“That one shirt...with the cool print...that I just don't wear anymore...” Why not make something new out of it? A practical bag for shopping or the beach. You don't even need a needle or thread!
SCRUNCHIE MUNCHIE
A regular hair tie rips at your hair and sits so tightly on your head that you get a free face-lift... try sewing your own hair tie!
PATCHES
You have an old shirt that you don't wear anymore, with a really cool print. It's actually too bad to throw it away, but you don't really wear it either... How about
