Thanks so much 🥰🥰

Your videos are so beautifully done, the atmosphere is so special. Congratulations to you 3 on the approach of a new baby. I really loved the way the onion skins and logwood take to the soymilk, the colours are so soft. The rainbow onesie is my favourite but your cushion fabric really turned-out beautifully too! You look wonderful in your ZW dress, I think it’s just too voluminous a design for my small frame though which is a bummer. The dress looks fantastic on you (love the colour too). Take care, I hope the worst of the nausea is over for you.

[@billynou]

Oh thank you ☺️ I love my dress too... it could easily be made a little less voluminous if you desired. Feels good to be back and the rainbow one is my fave too .... which is funny as I had the least hopes for it 🤷🏽‍♀️

I love the colour of your beautiful dress! Please could you tell me if you dyed the fabric and what you used. Thank you 😊

[@billynou]

Thank you! I didn’t dye this fabric, it’s not natural sadly but I did make it 😉

You mentioned heat setting the cloth, what does that mean? So excited to see you dyeing again!

[@billynou]

Just a nice hot steam iron

[@kavitajilkar8784]

Hallo . Thank you . Really like the concept . I had a question , I have used soya milk as mordant now can I use alum acetate too to shift colour over soya milk. Or should it be alum acetate first . Also should we dry them in , under some shade or directly under the sun directly

[@billynou]

Hello... so I would normally use alum acetate first ... that would be my preference as alum acetate is a mordant and chemically binds to to fibers where as soy milk is a binder and just coats the fibers but you could alsways try, you would still get results. Best to dry out of direct sunlight as sunlight can affect the colour fastness and bleach the colours 😊

[@michelemilne9612]

Take care. You look very well.🌿

[@billynou]

Thanks 😊

[@animemicheal]

oh yay!

[@billynou]

😊

[@csknight]

BillyNou, you can prevent the gum arabic from lumping by adding it first to a very small amount of glycerol. No lumps! Then add to the soy milk x

[@billynou]

Amazing! Thank you l, I didn’t know this ☺️

[@lifewithtayo5397]

Your kitchen is amazing, what country are you in? Do you have a home tour video?

[@billynou]

Aw thank you! No we don’t but have been asked a few times 😆 we moved in a couple of years ago and it’s still not finished 😅

[@AlkaBaba-q8c]

Hope n wish ur baby n u are hale n hearty dear.. had one question… mordanting wid alum works only for natural dyeing..eg onion or etc skin? Or any chemical dye too? Pl do reply

[@billynou]

Thank you. I don’t know about chemical dyes 😊

[@a-bang-gers1170]

Your videos are great! Love from Bangladesh❤❤

[@billynou]

Thanks 💕

[@niroppamassawant8013]

Brilliant outcome! What is heat setting ...can you explain?

[@billynou]

It’s just a nice hot steam iron to make sure the colours are nice and cozy in the fibers

[@Peleski]

I think stencil would give a nice balance between structured and bespoke

[@billynou]

Yessss i agrée 💗

Hi Billy, I've just discovered your beautiful channel. I'm going to try this with my 4 year old daughter today 💚 Could you tell me where I can beautiful simple vest tops like I see you wearing in a couple of your videos pls?!

[@billynou]

Hey! Excellent..... so much fun to do with the little ones!! I think you mean my knitted crop top? My friend Miriam Griffiths knits made this too.... I’m not sure if she is still selling them at the moment but worth checking her out 😊

[@pheart2381]

Almost like invisible writing,only revealed once its dyed. Congrats on the baby-to-be!

[@billynou]

Exactly! So fun

[@mrferalcodify]

Hi Billy, the colour of the denim came out really beautifully! Did you use yellow and red onion skins together?

[@billynou]

Just yellow skins for this colour! It did didn’t it... I LOVED these results so much

[@aliensuperstar1233]

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but do the natural dyes run out of clothes when washing them? Or do they transfer at all? Is there a special washing method that differs from normal care instructions?

[@billynou]

Hello ... so there’s so many factors involved in how long the colours “last”, fabric choice, mordant choice, fabric preparation, dye used etc etc but in general if you treat your naturally dyed fabrics gently, washing with cool water and ph neutral soap, the colours stand up pretty well. And it’s also nice to try and adjust your mindset a little... enjoying the fact that colours and tones can change over time because the colours are ALIVE. 🥰🥰

[@millicentnyamea1194]

Hi BillyNuo what spray was that and what is it for?

[@rosepalazzolo4579]

Love your videos! What’s your dress dyed with? Love the orange!

[@billynou]

Ah I love it too.... this fabric was a gift and not naturally dyed though ☺️

[@Luckingsworth]

For those allergic to soy or against soy due to Monsanto gmo frankensoy, what is the best natural alternative for the "paint"?

[@billynou]

You could try any milk which is high in protein.... there are also other ways of painting patterns like using iron water to shift the colours or maybe even a tannin solution. Lots to experiment with 😊

[@Luckingsworth]

@@billynou Thank you!

[@bixnash1]

When you say that the fabrics have been pretreated with soy do you just mean they've been soaking in the solution? How long for please? Bx

[@billynou]

Yes... soaked in soy milk from anywhere from and hour to 24 hours.... I have a video on soy milk you might find helpful X

[@ganeshkumar7019]

Can we do it using normal milk. Will it work?

[@billynou]

You can try! I’ve never done it but apparently it does work

[@ganeshkumar7019]

@@billynou Sure. Will give it a try. Thanks.

[@belakumar2386]

Can I do it on Silk...

[@billynou]

Yes! 🧡

[@sophievautour8573]

psyllium husk would probably work as a thickener for soy

[@billynou]

Maybe but in my experience psyllium husks tend to leave little lumps 🤔 maybe if they were ground up extra-fine

[@sophievautour8573]

​@@billynou Yes I can imagine the sticky lumps. I'll have to try see if it will wash off.
