Handmade Blue Dyed Fabric with Hand-drawn Floral Patterns

After a long pause, Li Ziqi just uploaded a new video – the first since the Coronavirus Outbreak.

Update: Second episode was released a few hours later. You can watch both videos below.

It seems like a very complicated process.

The video started in the summer, and by the time she started to dye fabric, it was already snowing.

Here you will see some of the major steps:
