Cut and Stretch

Thanks to Yvonne for a great design exercise.

We  'Cut and Stretched' today producing some interesting results.

You can tell those who had done this before because they knew

where they could interpret the instructions in their own way.

Something to try next time.........

 

Monday 12th October

Our next session is 'Cut and Stretch' - a design exercise.

No room for procrastinating.  

Herewith the needs list for the ‘Cut and Stretch’ process which we shall attempt on Oct. 12th.

Requirements:

Initially:

cutting equipment

sewing machine and sewing equipment

4 pieces of fabric – 3 toning, one contrast, about A4 size

(you may like to paint or stencil your fabric before you begin)

machine threads mainly to match the fabrics – some contrasts could bring the piece alive

threads in the same colourway for hand stitching – if you wish to hand stitch

small pointed embroidery scissors – for cutting out small fabric shapes

Please will people who have done this before bring their pieces; but we shall not be seeing them till the end of the meeting.
