Stage A - Fabric Samples.
I looked back at my stitched samples I made early on in this module to remind myself which I liked and which worked well. With that in mind I starting stitiching.....
I then moved on to my samples.
I started simple with factured blocks. I sewed a decorative stitch over one on the front seams.
Next I cut strips at an angle... and fluffed up seams by cutting
Next I made a wedge design...
This time I sewed decorative stitches on the back seams before cutting.
Lastly I used the stack and whack method...
Stage B.
Front facing...
Back facing seams
Evaluation
Costs - £2 - Glue
Time Spent - 20.5 hours
I prefer working with hand dyed and decorated fabrics to plain so this was a good experiment for me. I'm slowly getting to grips with making the back seams a feature. Some samples I still prefer from the front but its been mind opening to see it from the back.
