Discover inspiring techniques to create your own fabric statements. Linda has the cure for ‘fabric-itis’, that uncontrollable urge to collect more fabric, combined with the fear to cut into it. Just bring a combination of fabrics, sentimental garments, scarves, ribbons, yarn and other odds and ends which can be ‘repurposed’ to make a new creation. Together with materials provided, explore various painting, drawing and dyeing techniques; be introduced to fabric collage; and learn tricks to manipulate fabric. Fabulous ways to add designer accents to your garments! Supply List & Kit $15
