Recently, my neighbor pruned her loquat tree and gifted me the leaves and buds. Instead of letting them go to waste, I decided to experiment with them for natural dyeing—and the results were stunning! In this video, I’ll walk you through the entire process, from preparing the dye bath to unveiling the final color.
💛 What You’ll See in This Video:
✔️ How I prepared the loquat leaves and buds for dyeing
✔️ The simmering and soaking process to extract color
✔️ The final reveal of the beautifully dyed fabric!

*About Victoria*
I'm Victoria Close, designer, maker and teacher of jewellery, accessories and crafts based in Shimokitazawa in Tokyo. I'm a long-time Tokyo dweller (over 25 years) with a passion for mottainai (the regret of waste when something still has life left in it), vintage thrifting and any kind of craft.
This channel is all about my love of crafts, both Japanese and non-Japanese, traditional and modern, vintage shopping, free finds, my atelier and tiny shop and life in Japan.
I’d love to see you at my studio in Shimokitazawa soon.
