RECYCLE THREAD PAINTING FUN!

It all began with a thrift store jacket.

This one...had a little bling.

I put a very small print white rectangle on

the back of the jacket. 

The petals will overlay on it.

I make the petals by fusing them to a

stretchy fusible product.

Then cut the petals out!

Then I lay pieces around til i decide what

looks good to my eyes.

This did NOT!

Petals seem too long

and centered...not feeling it!

I decided the design would look great

off-set to the left.

I love asymmetrical designs.

I used a soft and stretchy 

Steam a Seam fusible for the rectangle

and the flowers.

A small zig zag stitch to secure everything down.

This center part of the petal is

just one flower cut from a AnnaMarie Horner fabric.

IT was perfect.

Then the 'thread painting' began by

selecting colors of threads to coordinate w/fabrics.

It's sew pretty!

Don't you think?

I've been on a kick to upcycle jackets,

sweatshirts, denim shirts.  

Stay tuned to see what I work on next!
