Altered Jigsaw piece
I have called this "Summer Garden" as i,m into this fabric art now,I thought I would try altering a jigsaw piece with Fabric.
First to dye some cotton muslin trying to portray landscape colours with Brusho,making a template with felt from the jigsaw piece then sewing that to the muslin,cutting all round.so all I had to do was sew the beads on before attaching the piece to the jigsaw bit........ummm I might do another its a bit fiddley,enjoyable though,makes a change from stitching books lol
Materials used=
white cotton muslin
Felt
Brusho for colouring fabric
Beads and buttons
Eyelets
Gems
gold wire for hanging at top
Old jewellery for hanging at bottom.
and of course a large childs Jigsaw Piece !

loving your fabric work Pattie, Pidd
this is wonderful Pattie...the colouring you've achieved with the dyed background is perfect...wish my garden looked as summery, bright and pretty as this but it's all a bit washed out and wet at the moment. I love all the delicate stitch work...the flowers are so sweet it is a summer piece that makes you smile!
Love the colors...it does look like a beautiful flower garden!
great idea as I have just become a grannie for the first time I am starting to look thro all those 30 year old games in the loft... must have a go.
beautiful Pattie, there's really no stopping you with fabric and stitching now is there??
This is such a pretty piece of work Pattie, the use of colour and your beed work give the jisaw piece an impression and the feel of the garden. Love it.
