ADIRE!!!

ADIRE! ADIRE!! ADIRE!!!

It means 'tie & dye'. It was first applied to indigo-dyed cloth, this is usually done by people in south western Nigeria (Abeokuta and Ibadan), and this practice is also done in Mali. Some people call it the 'vintage textile'. It is done to come out in various colours, patterns and designs.

Adire took the center stage a while back especially among lovers of traditional wear but gradually faded out in the mid 90's. Adire has now come back to light because now we can afford to sew whatever we want and are not restricted at all, this is what gives us joy, *no restriction*.

Adire has also been seen as an accessory in the home and in the wardrobe like; pillow cases, hand bag, purses and even for gadgets such as the Ipad.

Well, I was able to sew a skirt with my Adire adding another touch of vintage to my wardrobe.

Here it is...

Thank You so much.
