10:00 - 16:00

Level: Beginner and up

Make a small winter landscape in a day learning how to use perspective to create tree shadows. Images will be provided. We will collage together a fabric background, using cotton fabrics and organzas, add tree trunks, then use a confetti technique, cutting tiny pieces with rotary cutters, and securing the pieces with tulle. Tree shadows will be added to create perspective. There will be an option to add other features such as a printed bird or animal. The composition can then be finished with hand or machine sewing as preferred. We will make a design approximately 35cm long by 35cm high max. Sewing starts mid- afternoon, and will need to be completed at home. Ideally you will have some experience with free motion sewing. Check that you have an embroidery foot that fits your machine and practice before the workshop.

What to bring:

• Sharp fabric scissors, (large and small)

• Box of pins, hand sewing needles,

• Rotary cutter, cutting mat (small)

• Pencil and long ruler.

• Sewing machine. Free motion embroidery foot ideally. Check your manual and practice before the day!

• Threads – black, dark brown, white, light blue, mauve, pale yellow and a selection of others. If you intend to hand sew, bring your preferred threads
