Fabric Bowl workshop details


FABRIC BOWL WORKSHOP 22nd JANUARY 2009
Above is some ideas of what the fabric bowls look like, the picture is from Gail Lawther's book. The Needs List is as follows:

MUST HAVE A MACHINE THAT DOES ZIG ZAG STITCH

Scissors; paper scissors, good quality fabric-cutting scissors and small sharp-pointed embroidery scissors.
Soft pencil
Long Pins for holding sections together while stitching them.
Chalk marker
Long quilt ruler
Felt pens/fabric marker pens
Paper
Template plastic or thin card
Thread. You will use a lot of thread! Cotton, polyester, poly/cotton or rayon
Fabric Cotton or silk, pattern or plain depending on your choice of bowl.

The same thread is used in the bobbin as in the top. Filling more than one bobbing means that the needle stays threaded while changing bobbins, making the interruption less noticeable.

A cutting board and masking tape may prove useful.
