The Dress

The Dress Close Up

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Thread Art »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Women

Style: Retro / Vintage

Materials

Fabric, batting, paper, thread, display boar, flowers, beads

What was your inspiration?

I decided to make a series of canvas art using my Thread Art technique. I was looking through my closet for something to wear and saw some dresses that I had never worn. That is how I came up with The Dress.

What are you most proud of?

I am most proud of the fact that I just played with it. I did not care how it would turn out, I just wanted to play and have fun with it.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

HAVE FUN WITH IT....JUST PLAY
