222AI: Shimmer and Shine
(Angelina and Glitter)

 
Go to Printable version of Supply List for Shimmer & Shine (opens in new tab)
 

Teacher: Trish Stuart
Class Length: AM
Skill Level: All

Love the look of Angelina but don’t have a clue what to do with it? Have you ever tried the Microfine Glitter as an accent? We will be using water soluble stabilizer and thread as we create ferns for this underwater scene. We will mix Angelina with some Roving and then use Ultrafine glitter to mimic beadwork. Create depth and add accents and shimmer to your fabric with the sparkle of Angelina and Glitter.

UnderSea Project

As you can see from the model we will be sewing Angelina mixed with Roving and hand dyed lace to hand dyed, embossed, heavyweight paper. The closeup shows the fern you will make as you learn to create your own lacey ferns.

Supplies:

  • BSS
  • free motion foot
  • Aqua Thread (preferably polyester embroidery thread. Please click on the model's image for more info on thread)
  • a prewound bobbin in the same thread
  • machine embroidery hoop (This is critical! You can use a spring hoop if you cannot find a wooden hoop. 7" is the best size. Machine Emb Hoops are thinner than hand emb hoops to make them easier to slide under your presser foot)
  • pen or blue water soluble marking pen
  • Your choice of ultrafine glitter (you will not need much) and a glue that dries clear
  • topstitching needles (size 90/14)
  • embroidery needles (size 75/11 or 70/10)

Kit fee $7 (required) includes

  • hand dyed embossed paper background
  • a variety of hand dyed laces
  • Roving
  • Angelina
  • Instructions/Pattern

 

An assortment of Tsukineko Inks, Fabrico Pens, and assorted tools will be available for purchase in class.

322PM: Watercolor Flowers

Teacher: Trish Stuart
Class Length: PM
Skill Level: All
The soft, romantic look of watercolor is especially pretty when you have control over where the colors go. You’ll use stamp pad refill ink that is created especially for use on fabric so it is thicker, providing you with more control. Once heat set, the image is permanent. The soft drape of your fabric is maintained and you create an image of beautiful watercolor flowers in a vase that can be used alone or as a center on a future quilt.

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED: If you wish to prepare before class to allow more time for coloring, you may lightly trace the Hyacinth Vase image to the right side of a fat quarter of high thread count 100% cotton. The fabric should be created with long staple threads (which means the fabric will not be fuzzy) and be a close, rather than open weave. A medium to light value is best. I prefer to use a blotchy, low contrast Batik as it seems to fit all of the requirements. You do not need to wash the fabric prior to class.

Supplies:

  • BMS
  • 1 fat quarter of a light, blotchy batik fabric would be preferable or high thread count, 100% cotton fabric (white) (see note under image)
  • book Quilt Art: Coloring Your Quilts (Hyacinth Vase Image will be done)
  • Combo set of Fantastix (includes 3ea bullet & brush tips)
  • soft lead pencil (I use a mechanical pencil)
  • small paper plate
  • approx 18" x 22" sheet of freezer paper for a work area
  • iron & pad

Kit fee (required) $8 includes:

provides the use of instructor’s refill ink supplies and Fabrico dual tip marker pens.

 

An assortment of Fabrico pens, Fantastix, and other ink supplies will be available for purchase in class.

Teacher: Trish Stuart

Learn some simple but beautiful effects that can be achieved with foil used in conjunction with stencils, stamps and rubbings.

Once you have created a collage base with the ink, you’ll learn how to apply foil for a soft, sophisticated look.

422PG: Using Fabric Inks

 
Go to Printable version of Supply List for Using Fabric Inks (opens in new tab)
Go to Top
Teacher: Trish Stuart
Class Length: PM
Skill Level: All
Learn creative and fun ways to use fabric inks to correct or alter colors on fabrics you own that are not quite right for your current project. Use shaving cream with the inks to produce your own piece of marbled fabric and go home having used a simple method to compose your own swatch of batik. You will create some small projects in class that you can use in future artistic endeavors. Fabric inks can be used just as you would dyes, but there is no mess! Non-toxic and water soluble, these inks are permanent once set with heat and your fabric feels the same as it did before you colored it!
