Assignment 3 – Creating shapes and 3 dimensional forms in fabric

Project 6

 

Grinding to a halt

I was looking forward to this chapter. With the painting/dyeing I looked forward to it because it was something I hadn’t done before, but always wanted to try. This chapter I was looking forward to because it’s all about fabric and that’s my “thing”.

So how come ground to a halt on the first exercise?

Glue, it’s the glue….

I hate gluing fabric, I don’t use glue unless I absolutely have to and have explored every possible way of trying to get a stitch in and that includes going down to the tiniest needle, trying bend needles and even flexible beading needles. Ridiculous??? Totally!!!

Why? It changes everything about the fabric, the way it feels, the way it drapes, it just feels wrong.

Now I can see the point in using glue in this exercise, I can see the usefulness of glue in making a quick sample. But still………..
