Lesson 05, 13 September 2018

Appliqué pieces loose cut fabrics together to create illustrative/pattern collages. The technique is familiar and personal to me, as it reminds me of my grandmother sewing pillow covers and quilt blankets for us. The beauty in appliqué is perhaps the idea of frugality, yet creating dynamic patterns in the midst of mismatched fabrics.

Materials: Loose cut fabrics, threads, scissors

Cut fabrics to desirable dimensions. Sew them together with a sewing machine.
