Beady Bangle Bags and
Snappy Purses
Cute little bags is the idea, we can get there from a felting direction or
from a creative machine stitching angle. The techniques are relatively
simple- brainstorming ideas so much fun!
You decide and I will tailor the workshop to suit.
For the felt making direction we will first explore the idea of a bag made
using a resist- then the fun begins.
What to add? what surface? embellish with fabrics, beads, felt?...So
many things to try
Lots of pics of interesting textile ideas gleamed during my travels
to share.
Machine stitching direction we will start with layering, stitching
and cutting back [ reverse appliqué and chenille ideas really] then
use that to develop some cute little bags.

Students- go through your magazines- what catches
your eye, how can we incorporate those ideas into
these projects?
Bring the pages along- lets all brainstorm together!
