Lesson 03, 30 August 2018

Fabric of threads is a method of stitching loose threads together to create a new fabric surface. Great way to reuse leftover threads! It can be molded by stitching them together with water soluble plastic. Place the snitched threads onto a mold and soak in water to dissolve soluble film.

Materials: Loose threads, threads, water soluble film
