MATERIALS
1 square of cotton fabric/calico 20cm x 20cm to use as a base for your collage design
(Or 30cm square if you want to stretch finished piece over an artist canvas)
6 pieces of different coloured ‘patterned’ fabric.
If you have fabric remnants in this colour range, you can add more.
Quilting shops often sell ‘fat Quarters’ of cotton fabric in 25cm lengths which are ideal. You will have plenty for making future projects with this amount of each colour
Why patterned fabric? - to add interest and make your piece truly unique
purple or other dark fabric for branch silhouettes
Yellow x2 tones/designs
Orange
White 10cm square needed only
Bondaweb to back your fabrics. Fix the bondaweb to the back of each square of fabric prior to the class.
Or you can use a glue stick to attach your collage
Thread colours:
Purple
Yellow
White
Sewing machine with free motion embroidery foot OR needle (to work by hand - the stitching will not be completed in the class, but can continue in your own time)
Sharp small fabric scissors / General scissors for paper cutting
Ironing board and hot iron
Optional extra equipment:
20cm square artist canvas - if you wish to mount your work
Staple gun
Katy recommends using thin cotton fabrics, such as those used for quilting - patterns and batiks work particularly well. If you wish (or need) to buy new fabrics, there are plenty of on- line fabric suppliers.
