Nov 13/14 ,2008 Introduction to Paper and Fabric Collage  

Katherine Alyce

 

Collect scraps of at least 30 different fabrics to create landscape.  Choices should include full spectrum of earth colors to include mountains, sky, fields, ground, grass, water, flowers, etc.  Fabric cuts of 1/8 yd each will be more than enough. Small scale prints are best.

 Your choice of sky is the largest piece of fabric you will need.  I recommend a 5 x 11 piece to start.  I prefer hand dyed, realistic sky fabric and my own are available.

 You may prewash, but I don’t feel it is necessary since this is a wall hanging and it is unlikely that it will be machine washed, you shouldn’t have shrinkage problems.

 Colors for borders:  first border1”width (1/2 “ finished), second border the same, third border 2 ½ “ width (2” finished).

 1yd of cotton batting and 1 yard of backing fabric

 Sewing machine

Rotary cutter and mat

Grey cotton thread for sewing

Silk grey thread for machine quilting (not required)

A sense of humor and patience
