#196: Eco Printing – Kat Camfield with Carly from Lorelei Textile Design 
You are probably aware of natural dyeing, but have you heard of eco printing? As we’ll hear in this episode, eco printing comes under the umbrella of natural dyeing but the process involves taking botanicals in the original form and using them to print onto fabric in patterns created according to how they’re arranged. This episode has been made for CYT by friend of the podcast, Kat Camfield, who is a sewing teacher and sewing retreat organiser living in Victoria, Canada. Kat spoke to Carly, an eco printer and natural dyer who creates amazing handmade garments and accessories using secondhand textiles. They talk about the hows and whys of eco printing, its role in more sustainable clothing communities and lots more.  Support the podcast over on Patreon! Kat and Carly.
