Good morning! Welcome to another week of fun at Sketch It Saturday at Unscripted Sketches! This week's sketch features a 'piggyback' challenge to add fabric to your project. Here is this week's sketch . . .
And here is my project . . .
I made a fabric collage wall hanging from the sketch, and am very pleased with how it came out! I used two patterned fabrics, a vintage button, lace and pom-pom trim from my stash, and made a yoyo out of the red fabric. This is the first time I've used the pom-pom fringe where it really looks well done, so I am happy with that!
I made a bow from the red calico fabric and sewed it to the top - before I used the fabric for the bow I tried several different ribbons and none of themworked. The torn fabric stip ended up being the perfect topping for the collage.
One tip that I will share with you today is how I got the verse on the center. You take a piece of plain muslin fabric and iron it to the shiny side of a piece of freezer paper, then trim it to 8 1/2 x 11", and print it on your ink jet printer. I use the 'other specialty paper' setting, and it prints like a charm! Then you make sure you heat set it with a hot iron, and use a fixative found at fabric stores to keep it from fading.
Thanks so much for visiting Camellia Cottage today! Be Joyful Always, Becky
