McGregor School work sample


Work in progress Posted by Picasa

Here are a couple of photos of one of the samples that we made in class at Summer School. This was all made on the machine with free motion embroidery. I have collaged pieces of fabric, heavily fill stitched, stuffed something - cannot remember what - under organza, created holes and stitched sequins. It is very far from being finished but it was great fun to do so far. Once it is removed from the hoop, it will take on a whole new life as it will scrunch up to a much smaller size. It is interesting and has great texture.

  • It's looking great. I'd love to see what you do with it.

    I've always wanted to go the McGregor school but it's never happened. I suppose there's always next year!!

  • Is that a synthetic fabric in the hoop? I have seen pieces like this is The Machine Embroidery Handbook by dj bennett and have wanted to give this a try. Your piece is really interesting looking.
