Join us for a full day masterclass in upcycling fabric scraps and creating new textiles from old using free motion embroidery, as seen on The Great British Sewing Bee. Learn how to curate coloured scraps to create a harmonious design using your own project leftovers, or rummage in out textile recycling tub where we’ve saved every bit of leftover fabric from our sewing classes. Add textural interest using yarn and thread scraps salvaged from our peg loom and punch needle workshops with Stephanie Fradette. Build abstract texture or hand cut small motifs to create a repeat pattern (adding the scraps back in as you go of course!). Over the course of the day Cass will show you how to create new fibres and textiles from old, by sandwiching your salvaged collage between translucent organza materials and quilting them in place. You’ll leave with a finished cushion cover or wall hanging that demonstrates the techniques you’ve learned. Once you’ve mastered this technique on a small scale you can go on to create larger projects for your home, or even piece your samples together to make stunning and unique zero waste garments!
