First, I spent a day or two painting 5” blocks using the “Gelli Print Method” - it took longer then I had expected, also because some of the colors weren’t turning out the way I wanted them too. My super awesome husband took me to Walmart (because I didn’t want to go by myself) after he got off work and I was able to purchase some more blue acrylic colors.
After laying out the squares I sewed them together in rows of threes.
While ironing I had to use parchment paper due to the paint. The paint was not iron friendly- so the parchment paper helped.
Panel all sewn together.
Drew some stems on green fabric using fabric chalk
The pieces were to thick - so I cut off the leaves and cut the stems in half and placed them on the panel.
Then I had to choose what thread to use- this thread was given to me by my Oma Hildegard Malkusch. Nice to still have a little piece of her around. I decided on the lighter shade. After sewing on the stems I added the leaves using different stitches from my Simple Singer Sewing Machine that I purchased from my local Walmart store.
After adding the stems, I glued on the petals using a little bit of Elmer’s glue.
Then I sewed on the petals using different stitches

They all look great, but you won’t ever be able to wash the fabric correct?
ReplyDeleteI used fabric paint, so I believe that it will be safe to wash on a light cycle. It might fade after a few washes - that is possible.
