Recently I attended a workshop called Textile Tags at Littleheath Barn Studio run by Liske & Claire. We were encouraged to rummage through their scrap bag to find fabrics to print on.
I chose the pinks and oranges and after printing on them with stamps and thermofax xscreens I tore them up and collaged bits onto a piece of fabric-backed bondaweb.
I did another A4 sheet starting with the blues and neutrals but added some colour when it looked too neutral.
I used my machine both with straight stitch and preprogrammed stitches
Then I machined shapes on the collaged fabric and cut them out.
I didn't like the shape of the one on the right so machined it again as a triangle.
I've still got some of the collaged fabric left. Not sure whether I will make more tags or do something else with it.
Thanks for joining me today

They look great Bernice. Welldone you. Love the colours too.
ReplyDeleteThat looks a fun workshop. I love the process but often don't know what to do with what I make. I like what you have done here - hopefully they will have a purpose rather than sit amongst stash like mind often end up.
