PRIGANART   Art Quilt, Art Fashion & Sewing Tutorials              

My contribution is to teach of course. They don't know how to sew yet, not even sewing by hand. I had to be creative when thinking of how to keep them occupied and interested for 2 hours. I am going to do a series of workshops teaching them how to create interesting items with t shirts. This is the first T shirt workshop.

This is the mood that I wanted, A landscape patchwork combat moonlight piece.

This time it was quite a challenge, some of the fabric pieces stretched a lot as I was curving the waves and I had to iron quite agressively to flatten the puckers but it was worth it as the end result is what I wanted and its quilted!

More progress but its already night time so I will leave the quilting for tomorrow as I want to see the true colors and for that I need daylight.

For this project, different from some of my others, the iron works over time. The ironing is the difference between a professional and an amateur looking piece. When I have to iron and use steam a lot I prefer to iron outside as there is fresh air and a breeze and its healthier. I had hoped to finish it today but it started raining and it was too cold to continue working outside. So tomorrow is another day.

The first piece in the series that I am creating around combat colors I will call The Remains.

Who says pouches that are practical can't be pretty. I have been working in these colors for the past month together with my students.

This is a study in colors for 2 boro rectangles for my zippered pouch.

It is as though there was a reason that I had kept all of these remnants for the colors of my now.
