Strippy/Scrappy Patchwork Still Life

We all have baskets/boxes/piles/heaps of fabric scraps and strips. Too precious to throw away … but what to do with them all? Well, here’s a lovely idea.

In this workshop we are going to collect some of our bits and pieces and learn how to put them together to create new larger cloths, using heat n bond fabric adhesive.

We will discover what makes for a high impact colour scheme, and then curate our scraps to create two ‘new’ cloths that provide that essential wow factor

We will then use our made cloths to create a beautiful still life piece. The illustrations here show flowers in a pot – but we will look at other possibilities for imagery in the workshop. We will learn to plan our stitching to enhance our work – and then machine stitch our piece

A session looking at the possibilities to enhance our work with mixed media, will allow us to add any final details

Finally, we will learn how to mount our work to present our masterpiece in all its glory
