I'd like to know more about the project pictured here! It looks as if you are machine appliqueing onto a sweater or sweater knit fabric. If this is the case, what will be the cleaning method for the finished piece? I prewash everything that I sew but it would seem that this combination might not tolerate washing.
Hi Anne! This was a mending project -- a hole in a nice cashmere sweater, with ultrasuede over the top to fix it. I wrote about it in the blog August 19, 2010. I don't know how my brother washes the sweater, but I'm sure the ultrasuede will be happy to go along.
I've been doing daily art for a long time, and everything since 2010 is documented in my other blog. This year it's painting. Click on the photo to check it out.

About me
I make abstract art -- usually with a needle but sometimes with a pen, brush or camera, scissors and glue, pliers and wirecutters, whatever is there. I have a husband, two sons, seven sewing machines, a big messy studio and lots of other people's art. Life is good!

ReplyDeleteDo you have pictures of the finished product?
