Here is Part 2 of Ann's Scrap Busting Series.
In this video, she shares ideas on how to make a piece of scrap fabric on fusible interfacing and then use it to make smaller shapes for appliqué or motifs with recycled pull tabs and bottle caps.
Quilters and Gypsy Satchel Stitchers! Got Scraps? In this 4-part series, Ann will be sharing a few different ways on how to use bits and pieces of fabrics, threads, yarns and beads to create artful motifs, appliqués and art pieces.
Here is Part 1. If you want to participate in Ann's giveaway, click here for instructions.
In this last lesson of the Gypsy Satchel, you'll work the last bit of embroidery, make a beaded tassel and a crazy patchwork lining. Ann hopes you had fun on this gypsy journey!
In Lesson Five, you'll do needle turn appliqué with detailed embroidery and then stitch on all the crochet and knit leaves and flowers you made last week.
Some kits are still available in Ann's Etsy store: AnnMyhreDesigns.
In Lesson Four, you'll be knitting and crocheting the leaves and flowers that will allow your satchels to be even more fabulous!
In Lesson Three, you'll be working with beads across the top and in the lace trim, making peyote stitch wraps and pompoms, and creating beaded buds and fabri-gami.
In Lesson Two, you'll work the background embroidery: fly stitch, lazy daisies, french knots, couching, and adding beads. After completion of this tutorial, you'll be sure to enjoy the beautiful color and texture you've added to your satchel!
In Lesson One, you’ll create the base of the bag and the crochet lace trim. You’ll learn increasing and decreasing in crochet, an extended crochet chain, and crochet lace trim which will be sewn on to the bag when completed.
