Isobel Green; The Studio Isobel

All of my hand dyed pieces are lovingly created by me in my home in California, the home of tie dye since its inception in the 1960s.

I first arrived at the colorful world of tie dye over a decade ago when I sold in person at local markets and summer festivals on the shores of New Jersey. I listened to my customers’ ideas and preferences and created unique and unusual tie dye for them to wear. In California I continue to work creativity producing hand dyed bedding sets in my studio in a little corner of suburbia called Pleasanton, a very Pleasant town indeed!

Each piece I create is as unique as my customers. The feel good factor from purchasing from me comes from knowing that my bedding sets are all creatively designed by me, are all completely individual and are made of sustainably produced cotton dyed in the USA. (This means that the cotton is either recycled, or grown with less water, chemical fertiliser and pesticide, while increasing profit margins for farmers).

Creating my bedding sets involve many hours of careful attention to detail; each set goes through several processes before it is ironed and packaged to send out to you by Priority Mail. This includes a first wash to remove ‘sizing’ when cotton is new, soaking in soda ash so the dyes attach to the fibers, swirling or folding the bedding (these sets are heavy to work with!), mixing and carefully applying the dyes, wrapping and leaving in the warm Californian sunshine to set the colors for 48 hours, rinsing, rinsing and more rinsing, line drying and then careful ironing when damp.

Tie dye is super fun and I’m always learning. The joy of first opening a new design makes me happy and I’d love to pass this joy on to you when you snuggle down under your rainbow, cotton bedding set for a wonderful night’s sleep.


Please keep in mind that different computers and devices display colors differently, the color of the actual item may vary slightly from the images in my listings.
Also, as my work is 100% hand-dyed , there will be differences between each item.
