Using Fabric

Tuesday the 2nd of June 2009

7.30pm @ Keepsake Krafts


This class will focus on using fabric on your layouts. The fabric is used in a naive, unfinished way to create a distressed and rustic look to your page.

For the sewers and patchworkers out there, the fabric strips can be neatened and our embelishment made into a little aplique if desired!

Supplies needed:
One photo, 9cm square, or 4".
One sheet of patterned paper for an outer mat.
One piece of cardstock or low patterned paper for an inner mat.
One piece of grid patterned paper, low patterned paper or cardstock for a background.
Alphabet for a title.
Four large photo corners (chipboard, paper etc - I have altered some chipboard ones).
One long strip of paper lace or patterned paper to scallop.
One strip of fabric approximately 4 - 5cm wide and 60cm long.
Scraps of fabric for a handmade embelishment.
Fast drying wet glue.
Tracing paper, greaseproof paper or baking paper to make a pattern.
Sandpaper.
Foam tape or dimensionals/dots.
Gel pen for journaling.
Date sticker or stamp and ink.
Embroidery thread for stitching.
Small assortment of brads/buttons.
35cm length of ribbon if you do not want to stitch on your fabric strip.

Supplied in class:
Glimmer mist.
Crackle paint.
Patterns for an embelishment.
Sewing machine and thread.
