Join the Billynou community subscriptions space.
A space where you will find content and inspiration to help you connect to your creativity and create your own naturally dyed universe.
You can learn to create colour on cloth with plants that are already available in your back yard or local environment. You don’t need anything special to get started, just a desire to try things out and play and a couple of pots and pans from a thrift store. I started out in my tiny kitchen and I’m STILL in my tiny kitchen all these years later.
Build your confidence gently, get to know the plants slowly, and create your garments step by step and feel the pride that comes with the knowing - YOU made this!
In this space you will be provided with monthly content to inspire, guide and inform you on how to do this all yourself and, over time, you will build on your knowledge and integrate it into your creative practice, ultimately creating your own conscious, natural wardrobe.
As a community subscriber, you gain access to new resources shared monthly. Natural dye tutorials and sewing projects to help you create your own naturally dyed wardrobe and universe. Resources will range from PDFs to video content, to the opportunity to join live workshops for free. You will have access to all tutorials and information whilst an active member.
What you will get when you join.
When you sign up you will have immediate access to information on mordanting and preparing your fibers, the foundation for successful natural dyeing.
This content will be evergreen and you will be able to refer back to it as and when you like as an active member.
You will also have access to previous months content while it is live.
These themes will also be explored in more depth, throughout the subscription to ensure you can fully grasp and understand the concepts.
Each month we will build on previous knowledge, introduce new techniques, explore a specific dye or mordant or discover a new sewing pattern or project.
The content will be shared in various formats including photo, pdf, text and video.
I will also be hosting seasonal dye workshops which you will also be able to join for free as an active member.
New material will be added to the space for you to dip into as and when you feel called to. There is no pressure to get through all the content at once, this space is supposed to be a space you can come and let your creativity unwind and you will have access to previous months content, until it retires slowly.

This month in the Billynou community, we’re playing with fresh flowers in the most perfect way possible. Flower pounding is the technique of transferring the natural pigments from plants and flowers onto fabric by pounding them with a hammer… Very therapeutic!
It’s the height of summer and the height of fresh blooms in our gardens, the perfect time for a flower-pounding project.
Here’s what’s included:
· Full flower-pounding on fabric tutorial
· Top tips for creating crisp flower prints
· Bonus live Q&A at the end of the month, where you can ask me any questions you might have about the community so far.
