February, 2019 - Sheila Collins
"Mandala Blossoms"
|
Saturday, February, 9, 2019 Program: Sheila Collins “Creative Journey from Fashion Designer to Graphic Designer to Fabric Artist”. Sheila is a fabric artist and instructor. Her passion is creating dimensional fabric art that is bright, cheerful, and fun. Class on Sunday, February 10, 2019: “Mandala Blossoms”. In the Mandala Blossom workshop you’ll learn how to make this dimensional blossom by working in layers with fusible appliqué on Peltex or heavy stabilizer. Experience with fusible appliqué is helpful, though not necessary. It’s a fun workshop for sewers of all skill levels. It’s also a good project for using all those fancy stitches that you love, and don’t know what to use them on. Fabric covered buttons complete the piece, though you can use store bought buttons, too, or a combination. |
