In this full-day Zoom workshop you will create a stitched thread bowl using the acetate/acetone technique combined with freehand machine embroidery and sheer fabrics to create a beautiful, unique design.
Whether you choose a totally abstract design, exploring colour and pattern, or have a theme such as flowers or leaves, Wendy will show you how to transfer your images onto the acetate fabric before stretching it into the hoop and stitching with free motion embroidery. Wendy will demonstrate various free motion embroidery patterns and, using your selected palette of thread colours, you will learn how to build up areas of stitch. Depending on your design, some areas can be loosely stitched, leaving open, lacy areas and in other areas you may choose to apply some sheer organza fabrics. When the stitching is complete Wendy will show you how to create your bowl. This is a quicker technique than those using water-soluble foundations, and the resulting bowl will be more robust, whilst keeping its delicate appearance. A full requirements list will be sent on booking, however please be aware that for this workshop you will need:
