The July meeting is all about textiles!
We have invited Perth-based textile designer Liz Dawes, from Woven Stories, to talk about her obsession with fabric and a love of travel. Liz will also be bringing her shop, so be prepared to buy (cash only please)!
As you all know, Phil loves making items using Japanese boro fabric, so the activity this month will be a boro stitching experience. Your boro fabric can then be used to make a small snappy bag at home. As usual, CQG will provide some of the materials, but check the requirements list below for what you need to bring.
Look forward to seeing you all there!
CQG will provide: thread, base fabric, metal snaps and glue.
You need to bring:
- 10 – 15 scraps of fabric, approximately 3 – 4”. They can be any shape, colour or type, but avoid heavy fabrics. We plan to mix all these together so be prepared to share!
- sharp needle with a large eye (for stitching with sashiko type cotton thread)
- scissors
- thimble (optional)
- if you prefer, you can bring your own sashiko thread to use
