Dressmakers Card

Wednesday morning it was Card Making Class

with Kim @The Gallery.

I have had a couple of weeks off and I have missed

the card creating.

It is so relaxing and creative, it's lovely being a student

sometimes!

Kim is really clever in how she makes her

cards and shows us how to create ones

with her inspiration but our images.

I want to add a safety pin in the top corner

and then I feel it is finished.

Steam Punk Mixed Media

Jeanette is starting a new mixed media piece.

This one is for a gift for a friend.

The dress was printed onto paper, coloured and then

photo transferred onto fabric and then re coloured and

sewn and embellished.

We will see how this becomes layered and

embellished over the weeks.

Autumn Leaves

Jeanette finished this mixed textile last year and has

had it framed by Haydn @The Gallery.

It looks amazing, sadly I couldn't get a really

good photograph due to all the lights in the

workshop room.

It will be hanging in The Gallery this week,

so well done Jeanette.

It's lovely too as Jeanette doesn't like painting

fabrics!

Transfer Your Favourite Photograph

Here, are another Mother and Daughter enjoying

creating their textiles together.

Both transferred their pet photographs onto fabric and

developed them into cushions.

I just love Maria's sheep dog cushion.

As they left Maria brought in her

10 month old puppy into the doorway,

he was so soft and cuddly!

and wooed the class.

This month has been lovely so far seeing all the

photographs being transferred onto fabric

and projects full of memories are being

created.

Corset Making

Due to half term, I had Mother, Daughter and Grand Mother

as students @The Gallery.

Here, you can see Mother and Daughter in their corsets that

have been made at class and the bags at

the top were made by Grand Mother and Grand Daughter,

using the corset stamp that Grand Mother had brought with her!

They had a good time sewing and

enjoyed the time creating and sharing !

Floral Wall Hanging

Carol has been wanting to make a Textile Wall Hanging

for some time for her living room. Over the last few weeks she

has been piecing and appliqueing the flowers

in different stitches to it using an embroidery machine too!

It is really looking something.

Well done Carol!

Crimped Quilt

a

Barbara has really got the hang of quilt making with

recycled materials.

This is her Crimped Cut Edged Quilt, made from

recycled pyjamas and t-shirts.

It is a really cosy quilt and feels so soft.

Well done Barbara!

Using the Lace

With Lace and Embellishments being some of the inspiration

this month these items use the it in different ways.

The cushion uses the lace that Jane had painted the previous

week. It looks really chic.

Sara had been trying to decorate the lace folded purse

in class the previous week and it took some

working out.

It is based on a Japanese Purse which I translated and

made my version of decorating.

See a video from an Australian lady

on my tech site making her version.
