Thank you! I love the different techniques you demonstrate and all the tips - about the different types of hangers, for instance, starting @30:38. And the info at the end about the foundlings is a reminder of the power of fabric! I visited the Foundling Museum in London (UK) quite a few years ago. I should go back.

I just don't understand how she will ever wash her work without the edges of the center pieces fraying, because the other day I washed a new pice of fabric to see if it was going to shrink, and it frayed like crazy. I lost a good deal of fabric just by making that mistake. But the work is really beautiful!
@PidgeLee12 күн бұрын
I get that, though sometimes there is beauty in the fraying. It reminds us that nothing lasts forever.

Excellent instructions! And i love your piece of freeze dyed fabric! I have experimented with painting watercolors in freezing weather. It isn't easily done since when we have deep freezers it is usually stormy with a lot of wind and it needs to be still. Fascinating!

I started using safety pins when I fit garments, they don't slip out or poke like straight pins. I think that would be good for this too.
@PidgeLee3 ай бұрын
That is an excellent idea especially if you have collarless safety pins, which are less bulky.

Can you make like 8 1/2 x 11 squares then sew all together to make a queen size blanket? How would you see them all together?

I'm sure you can scale this up to a much karger project. It would be ideal as a blanket.

Do you leave the raw edges to fray?
@PidgeLee3 ай бұрын
Yes, I left them raw but some people prefer to fold them over. It is down to personal choice.

You did not fold the edges over
@heleneikerenkotter29505 ай бұрын
You can fold pieces under or leave raw. The choice is yours. Depends on what you are going to use this piece of cloth for. If it is just to save pieces of fabric from clothing from the past and certainly it is just a keep sake . It actually looks fine with raw edges. If you are going to make something that is going to be used and washed multiple times then you can hem the squares . This is not a quilt. People never wasted. They used what was left of clothing . It is a unique art form as I see it.
@PidgeLee3 ай бұрын
No, I left them raw because I like this effect. You can fold them over if you want a neater overall effect. It's down to personal choice and what works best for you. :)

As far as i can tell you are the only one showing how to do tapestries with weaving sticks. This was very helpful as it simplifies the weaving process and using more sticks you can get more detail. I really appreciate this, especially that part at the end where you scrunch it up. 😊
@zenchantress9 ай бұрын
I've done stick weaving before but I've only done stripes. But I got a bag of notions at a thrift store and there were 7 plastic chopsticks so stick weaving came to mind. But when I saw you could make art, I just don't know why that never occurred to me. Then when you mentioned straws I thought about the thick plastic milkshake straws and the drive thru gave me 6 and didn't even ask what they were for. Making a hole in straws is way easier than making holes in chopsticks so I'm already weaving. Yay. Thank you.

@PidgeLee3 ай бұрын
Ensure that you remove and loose fibres before using. By stitching in place it reduces the risk of fray but the risk will always be there. The tighter the weave of fabric the less likely it is to fray though.

I have a beautiful Kantha throw blanket, made in India, that my daughter bought for me. She knows I am a quilter and would appreciate the work involved. One suggestion: Once you have a placement you like, use a phone and take a picture of the layout first (just in case), then use glue or pin. You never know when a child or pet might disturb your design.

2.35pm Sunday June 20th I 'very been really excited watching this video! Although I'm nearly 79 it takes me back to the part of school I really enjoyed. You're a great teacher and I love the way you save all the pieces, waste nothing, and I love you've chosen hand sewing and don't stick rigorously to straight lines. It's much better I feel to produce a piece of work that looks as it's produced by a human being and not a machine or robot! I also love how you save anything that can possibly be reused on another project, especially BUTTONS. The possibilities for them are endless. GREAT! Rosie Gordon

Did you turn the edges of the pieces under to prevent fraying?
@sabeena011 Жыл бұрын
I was going to ask the same - doesn't look like she did. I'm not keen on it having raw edges. Pity she couldn't answer your question personally - a trait I find annoying!
@RosemaryN11 ай бұрын
On thé example project, she cut the backing slightly larger than the patchwork and turned it up all around for a self-binding. On the grey coaster she purposely left the frayed edges as a design choice.
