"Perfect Painted Poinsettias" - To be announced
This pattern is my original design; you will receive a pattern for the poinsettias in class.
You will be learning: Fabric painting techniques,Creating textured looks,Design and layout,Assembly
We will be painting our fabric first, while it is drying we will be discussing assembly and then preparing our fusible for our application
onto our fabric. The first day we will be painting our fabric outside so please wear “play clothes” that you get dirty. Since everyone
paints his or her own fabric each piece will turn out different and unique. This is a wonderful introduction into fabric painting and
different sewing techniques. The base of the runner is very simple so we will be assembling it in class or as homework. You will be
creating this long wall hanging/table runner or you can create any size you like by adjusting the size of your background fabric and
border fabric.
Day Two will consist of fussy cutting petals and design layout, the importance of value and contrast. You should leave with an almost
finished piece.
