Our next stitch club will be on Saturday 15th March when we will be doing Textile Collage with Kate. As usual it runs from 10:00 - 15:00 at the Thomas Garrett Rooms, Heighington.
Kate will bring:
- · a little iron and towel to iron on; water spray
- · lots of fabric pieces and a bag of felt bits
- · some fine felt tip pens
- · staple gun
- · collection of narrow ribbons
You will need
- · Ideas for your image – landscape, decorative abstract or maybe you will be inspired by photos you have taken or images in magazines.
- · Maybe buy a picture frame from a charity shop. This then gives you the size of your image. Alternatively your worked fabric can be attached (with a staple gun or drawing pins) after completion to a canvas over a frame (sold in art departments such as in the Range).
- · Backing fabric, larger than the size of your finished work. Calico is a good strong base to work on.
- · Fabrics of your choice to suit your image
- · Scissors
- · glue – Pritt stick style is OK for thin fabric and uhu type for thicker fabric
- · If you are adding stitch, then bring your embroidery threads and the rest of your kit
- · Beads and ribbons if you like
The three examples above are all glued textiles
