Every now and then, I need to touch cloth. I will use this space to show my play with cloth and tell my thoughts while stitching.

I will only use unwanted clothing, cast offs, remnants, unfinished WIPs, cloth napkins, table cloths, curtains, and my stash which is pretty extensive.

I also intend to ramble randomly about anything that might come to mind. My rambles may be long or short or with photos only.

In The Spirit of Giving

What is this?

 This is a free offering from my online class inventory.
I made a decision last year to close my classroom site and here I sit with all this good stuff.
Many of my "cloth loving" friends are discovering Inktense Pencils and I think I can offer a few tips.
In the spirit of giving, I want to share with anyone interested.

 Here is how it will work:

  • First, you can read all about the class, Tree Castle Apron below.
  • I will post the videos, PDFs, and any other class content right here on this blog, The Cloth Side of Me. 
  • It will show up as a regular blog post. This means as I post each class segment, it will be in reverse order.
  • There will be a Class Index with links in the left side bar so you can enjoy the class in the correct order. 
  • If you want to follow along, you might like to follow by email. The sign up for that is in the left side bar too.
  • You will only be able to view the videos here at this blog.
  • You will not be able to download the videos.


All you have to do is show up and enjoy.
I will be adding all of the class content just as it was originally presented.



♥ ♥ ♥ Tree Castle Apron ♥ ♥ ♥
a mixed media face painting and fabric collage project
 This is a technique and project class using
Inktense Pencils.
If you love painting faces, you will love discovering one more medium to paint with and one more substrate to paint on.
I share technique demonstrations from both my art studio and sewing studio. You will be able to follow along the videos and fun patterns to fashion a beautiful apron that you will want to wear every time you are in your studio.
This project is all about function and beauty. When you wear it while creating, you will feel special and full of inspiration.





 

You will need a sewing machine; however, if you love hand stitching, you can probably adapt with your own style.

      Playing with Inktense is so much fun. I like it on fabric more that paper. There is a lot to discover. Thanks
