Heres a project that lve had on the go for awhile, a great way to utilize some of those smaller pieces of vibrant fabrics one doesnt want to throw away . The blue piece, above, is the finished result.
The above green piece is a work in progress.
Step 1. Chose a backing fabric, in this case lve chosen calico and stiffen it with a lightweight iron vilene.
Step 2. Collect your fabric pieces, in a particular colour theme. Lots of different textures evident here.
Step 3. Arrange your fabric pieces in a pleasing manner ontop of the backing fabric, within a A4 size.
Step 4. Cover with " Wash Away" Pastic and pin in place.
Step 5. Set your machine for free motion machine embroidery. Embroider your fabric piece, in my pieces l utilized a meandering stitch. A great way to become familiar/pracrice your free motion machine skills.
Step 6. Further embellish with some solid free motion stitch work.
Step 7. Cut your piece of work down to a A4 size
Step 8. Satin stitch around the eges of your project
Congratulations you now have a unique piece of textile work.
Another thought us that you could cut you work down to a postcard size and create your own personalized postcards or Artists Trading Cards.
