AFRICAN CLOTHES!!

This is a woman from africa wearing a traditional African dress.People dyed this bark cloth to make all kinds of patterns. The most important dye was indigo, which is the dye we use today to make blue jeans blue. Africans used tie-dyeing to make patterns on their cloth. In some parts of Africa, women did most of the fabric work, and in other parts of Africa, men did most of it. But early Africans also kept on wearing fur, and leather, and feather hats and headdresses, and jewellery made of ostrich shells, gold, feathers, and braided grass.
