Join fabric artist, Betty Lynn Tims, in generating a vision for your work that could include any of the following fabric mediums to explore: floss, buttons, appliqué, ribbon embroidery, watercolor, frames, hoops, various background fabrics, yarn and more! Emphasis will be placed on creating an original pattern to transfer (no need to know how to draw!) with the use of a computer and drawing app and or
traditional drawing and tracing with a light pad for tracing. Various stitches will be explicitly taught including French knot, Satin stitch, Woven Wheel, various leaf stitches and more in both embroidery floss and ribbon. Finishing the back of a project, in various ways, will also be taught. Students may work on any projects from traditional embroidery hoops to quilting hoops, larger tapestries, stuffed animals, clothing embellishments and more.
- Students are encouraged to bring a digital device to mockup a quick digital pattern for transfer.
