JOURNALING - LACE OR FABRIC SNIPPET STRIPS

-



 

A guide to making up Snippet Strips or Rolls. 

 This is the way I have found to be my best option.

  I hand stitch all my strips (not Glue ). 

The featured Strip is 7 cm x 30 cm. 




Starting with a strip of Poplin or soft cotton torn to size.  I then 

add a layer of fabric.  In this case it is just a Cream Base, position

the images to a place I am happy with. Find a selection of 

Laces and Trims etc. and have a play with the Colours, Positions 

and Design. Next step is to hand tack down the Backing, 

Images and Laces. I find at times the sewing machine is suitable

 but no gathering or tightness this way.  Also a slight movement of 

the piece because of the small scale, can be an added bonus.

If you are concerned about fraying, I use the pinking shears to

trim of the sides. Also if you are not happy with this look a narrow

lace trim edge can be used. 





Then for the Fun of Slow Stitching, adding beads, charms, flowers etc. 

I have completed this into a Journaling Inspiration Pack and will be adding

this to my Etsy Store. Images are from my Lavender Group printed onto 

Cotton available in Store. There will a new range of minis coming soon.

Textile Art? Discovery, Design, Creativity

-

  Textile art involves using textile materials as the main medium, including fiber art, knitwear, woven fabric, and embroidery. The process of creating textile art may include hand stitching, machine work,  or even using glue. Engaging in textile art requires a sense of touch and sight , as well as creativity and emotional input. The benefits of crafting, whether in textile arts, quilting, journaling, embroidery, mixed media, or scrapbooking, are significant. The goal of this store is to highlight the advantages of hands-on art creation. While I work on projects when time permits, my true passion lies in experimenting with textures, colors, and designs to create packs for customers. The time spent on sourcing materials, especially given the scarcity of local craft suppliers, often hampers the creative process. The kits offered in this store cover a range of activities from journaling and slow stitching to textile arts and crazy quilting. An exclusive line available in the Sto...
