Sew With Vision

This class will be on thread painting using Fussy-Cut Appliqué with Judith Newman. She will walk you through the process of selecting sections from the fabric, adding fusible web, fussy cutting out elements, fusing them to a prepared background fabric, then using thread painting to embellish and accent the fabric’s design as you create a one-of-a kind wall art panel. You will have a piece of fabric with a sharp printed design which can be used to make cushion covers, window shades or you could turn it into an interesting piece of wall art. It’s up to you!

Bark cloth with printed tropical flowers will be provided; you will need to bring (or purchase) 1/2m of a solid (or very subtly printed) background fabric, 1/2m fusible web (WonderUnder or Featherweight Heat ’n Bond), 1/4 m or non-puffy batting. Remember your best sharp fussy cutting scissors, and rayon embroidery thread in a range of colours.
