Washaway Textiles
Create your own textiles using water soluble fabric. During the workshop you will make a bowl using thread, fabric scraps and water soluble fabric. You will then experiment with fabric and stitch to create your own accessory or textile which could be used for embellishing stitching projects. You could even make another bowl. To get the most out of this workshop you will need to be able to do free motion stitching on your sewing machine. This can be a half day or one day workshop.
