Turn fabric scraps, stitches, and personal stories into a one-of-a-kind textile artwork! In this hands-on workshop, youll create a hand-stitched collage inspired by something meaningful to you, whether its a favorite place, beloved pet, treasured object, plant, or simply an idea that sparks your imagination. Work from a reference photo or embrace abstraction as you cut, layer, and stitch fabrics into unique shapes, textures, and patterns.
Julie will guide you through approachable techniques for designing from reference images, layering and manipulating textiles, creating dimension, and adding decorative details with hand stitching. Youll also learn basic hand- and machine-sewing techniques and explore creative ways to finish and display your artwork, from framing your piece to adding it to a tote bag or sturdy garment.
Bring new life to old materials as you share stories, memories, and inspiration throughout the creative process. While all materials are provided, youre welcome to bring meaningful fabric scraps, ribbons, buttons, beads, or other small treasures from home to incorporate into your design.
By the end of the workshop, youll leave with a unique textile collage and the skills and inspiration to continue creating with repurposed fabrics at home!
**No sewing experience is necessary. All materials are provided.** Just come ready to experiment, play with fabric, and make something uniquely yours!
