Stitch Magazine Project

 

Issue 137 of Stitch Magazine is published on Thursday 26th May and includes my 'Shrivel Up and Dye Cushion' project.

I pay tribute to the wonderful C June Barnes whose work introduced me to the concept of shrinking wool fabrics when I studied her as part of the City & Guilds diploma. It is a technique I have gone on to explore with different fabrics and stitch treatments. 







The version in the magazine is dyed with  violet cold water dylon dye but procion, direct or natural dyes could also be used.

A pack of all materials (exc dye) to make the cushion is available for £20 plus £2 p&p
