How to Sew Art Part Two

Today we continue with part two of the Sewing With Nancy mini series, How to Sew Art. Starting with a photo, choosing fabrics, and then following steps to turn a common digital image into spectacular wall art. Tammie Bowser, a quilt innovator, will show us how to transform ordinary fabric into fine art.

In my January 29 blog post, I shared an overview of How to Sew Art part one, including choosing a photo, downloading the software, printing the pattern, creating a fusible web sandwich, and selecting fabrics.

In How to Sew Art part two,  the magic happens!

Learn techniques for cutting the pattern pieces.

See how to cut and add the fabric pieces.

Watch Tammie demonstrate the stitching/quilting process.

See how to add texture with Cotona thread and Angelina fibers .

In How to Sew Art part two, you’ll also see an inspirational gallery of Tammie’s quilts!

At Tammie’s website, howtosewart.com. you’ll find details on downloading a free software trial. The software turns an image into an art quilt pattern and includes the Gerber Daisy image below!

Nancy’s Notions has assembled a How to Sew Art Starter Set that includes the book, DVD, Color Value Isolation Tool, 505 Spray and Fix Adhesive, and Wonder-Web Fusible.
