Class Description:
Want to learn how to create this interesting effect that makes your fabric appear to vibrate? If you like surprises, this is a class for you. We’ll make a wall hanging that will amaze all of us. Plan on getting most of the top put together during our class time. Just be forewarned: you won’t be able to stop with just one.
Supplies:
· Sewing machine
· Mat, new blade and ruler
· Pins, scissors, seam ripper
· Thread
Fabrics:
You will want a fabric with large strong motifs. Florals, Asian and Hawaiian prints are great. Kaffe Fassett fabrics would probably work well too. The Frond big flowers (22×24) are also really fun. Choose a fabric with a repeat of at least 18-24″. The more colors in the background, the more interesting your piece will be. Movement in the background is good too–marbles, swirls, or shadows. Avoid fabrics with people or straight vertical or horizontal elements. Batiks are not appropriate either because they are hand printed and the repeats are not always evenly spaced.
Purchase at least 4 repeats of the fabric–5 to be safe. (Did you hear the “voice of experience”?) We will use only one long side of the fabric, so you’ll have half of your fabric left to share with a friend or use in a border or on the back of your wall hanging. Bring coordinating border fabrics too if you’d like so we can audition your choices. If you have any questions about your fabric choices, please call or email Dianne Kane (whose contact info is in the directory).
