March

Our March meeting was a demonstration by Lidia on

'Making use of Tensions Swatches and old garments'

Using old knitted garments or tension swatches and a sewing machine to make 'chenille' for making bags, collars and cuffs etc.

​

Layering pieces of material or knitted fabric Lidia Machined them together in diagonal lines approximately 1 cm apart

 

Then cutting between the lines using a 'Slash Cutter'.

 

Finally fluffing up the material so that it resembled Chenille.

​

Making fabric in this way Doreen Harvey had produced this Hat and Bag. The scarf is Hairpin Lace.

Another example of a bag produced by making  'Chenille'
