Level: All Levels Class Type: Hands-on Category: : Collage Techniques / Domestic Machine Sewing Machine(s): Sewing Machine required
Making a collage garment is pure fun; you use either a sweatshirt base or use a foundation style base. You will choose solids and small prints that will blend with the theme fabric - think Asian, flowers, animals, fish etc.. You do not wash the fabric prior to the collage process – just before the binding is to be added, you will wash and dry the garment to get the texture of the raw edge stitching,
Kit/handout Fee: None
Student supply list:
1. Purchase a sweatshirt that is two (2) sizes larger than you wear. DO NOT PREWASH.
2. Fabric: a fabric that has animals, a flower of different sizes, Asian birds, fish, etc., something you can cut apart. Choose other fabrics that pick up color from the main fabric, some solid and small prints that do not overpower the main design. Thread to match the fabric and the color of the sweatshirt. If you prefer to line your jacket, purchase coordinating fabric and thread. DO NOT PREWASH YOUR FABRIC.
3. Sewing machine with free motion foot. General sewing supplies, including a small pair of scissors for cutting sections of the fabric apart. Make sure you have extra needles for your machine.
