Work in Progress Wednesday
These are some of the fabrics that I will be using for a new project. I applied to be in the upcycle challenge being done by The Fashion Museum. We have to purchase fabric from their sale. $25 for a bag of fabric. They are lovely fabrics. wool, cashmere and silk. The loosely woven fabrics are good colours for me but I don't love the linear quality. The first thing I thought to do was pull the weft threads to make a fringe. I think that works well. My next experiment was to use those pulled threads in some way. I trapped the threads between two layers of sheer fabric and then machine-stitched over all of it. I also think that is interesting. They look better in real life. I did more thread pulling in different ways. I have had so much fun experimenting! I am excited to see all that I can do with this challenge. The full set of rules will be sent later this week. I am eager to learn what they are.
