Sew a Post Card
Sew a Post Card
Sew a Post Card
by Kathryn Harmer Fox
This is a project driven, one-day workshop, in which you will create your own fabric and thread post card. You can choose to trace your image from a selection of drawings that I have done of Australian fauna and flora (available in a kit), or you can draw your own.
After translating this drawing onto your pre-printed “Post Card”, you will learn how to flesh it out using a choice of netting, snippets of fabric and variously coloured sewing threads.
Once your image is stitched onto your canvas and dressed in all its bits and pieces of fabric, you will stitch your lines and message, sign your name and then add the various “stamps” or any other preferred postal instructions.
Perhaps your piece needs to come with instructions to “Handle with Care” or must be held “This Way Up”.
You may also choose to paint a background around your chosen subject before stitching the fully completed post card face to its own particular backing material.
(A set of Inktense colour blocks will be made available for students to use for this purpose).
Tools needed:
· sewing machine (must have the ability to disengage feed-dogs)
· sewing machine extension table
· embroidery or darning foot
· usual sewing paraphernalia (sharp scissors, pins, tape measure etc)
· clear, plastic ruler
· 2H pencil
· red, blue and black fine, fibre-tipped pens
· small stiff paintbrush
Materials needed:
· various snippets fabric (colours based on chosen image)
· selection of assorted sewing threads (colours based on chosen image)
· 2 pieces of backing fabric (larger than A4) – used to ‘frame’ the postcard
A snippet is a small piece of fabric about 5cm X 5cm (you need a packet full of these. (Some to be piled in a pool and shared so that we increase our choices)
Kit: PostCard workshop kit is $30
· original line drawing, finished image and tracing paper
· A4 sized pre-printed “Post Card” on 100% cotton duck canvas
· pre-printed “stamp” (an assortment to choose from and printed from my art works)
· selection of coloured netting
Students will also have access to Inktense colours with which to stain the background behind the image.
