It’s sewing Jim, but not as we know it!

 

I’m so pleased with this, I just have to share it with you… I’ll do a tutorial soon!

A couple of months ago I went to an old school friend’s wedding.  The reception was held in a house that did double duty as an art gallery.  While I was there I noticed a piece of art that was created by sewing into plastic discs in circular patterns that were then attached to a piece of hardboard.

I was inspired by this idea and when I found a stretched canvas hidden away in the spare bedroom (goodness only knows what I bought it for in the first place!) I knew immediately what I wanted to use it for.  I experimented to see if you could sew through the canvas; it worked and this is the result, I’m so proud of it.  I’ve got a couple more blank canvases to try this on, so I’ll do the photos for a tutorial when I do it – I forgot to take photos as I did this one, I got a bit over excited about it working!
