Fragments and Fraction Fabric |
|
| Your scraps will create a stunning piece of fabric. Bring your leftover threads, pieces of lace, trims, motifs, yarns, ribbons, angelina, unusual textiles -- we need lots of "stuff"! Also needed are a small rotary mat and rotary cutter, 3/4 yard of solid-colored fabric, and lots of pins. We will put together a one-of-a-kind incredible work of art as we pin these fun items onto the fabric. Your new Fragments and Fraction Fabric will be ready to stitch and free motion. | ||

Dyeing for a Close
Shave We will use inks and cream
to create stunning effects. This process is water-soluble,
non-toxic and easy to cleanup. The color is permanent once it has
been heat-set. The special inks used will allow the fabrics to
retain their original soft hand. The colors are vivid and will not
fade over time or multiple washing. With a base of muslin or white
fabric as our palette we will transform it into a one-of-a-kind design.
These newly designed fabrics work wonderfully into quilts, elegant
wearable art and unique home-deco projects. Some students are
intimidated with the thought of drawing images, so in Step 2 of this
class, we will transfer a design to our new "inked" fabric
using the "Color Me Easy" transfer pattern. Then we add
deeper colors to the design using fabric ink pens. The
possibilities are endless. Bring an apron or an old shirt to
protect your clothing. |
