| ETA Dallas - Education in Textile Arts Dallas 2007 I attended this year and it was wonderful! I will be posting information about each class I took so you can read all about it. Each of the classes underlined in blue were classes that I participated in so you can select the link and read all about it. Most of the classes are just typed in blue for now it will take me a few days to get the pages up for each class. I also purchased many of the sewing patterns and as I have made the pattern, I'll take photos and give a review of the patterns. The ETA for 2008 is scheduled for February 9-10, 2008. 2007 Education In Textile Arts Classes Shirley Adams P.O.

I made my first jackets and LOVE it!!!!! The pattern was very well written and the sizes provided are extremely accurate. It took me less than an hour to make the jacket include cutting time. The hardest thing about this pattern was choosing the fabric (I wanted to make one out of every fabric in the store), the pattern was SUPER easy! The jacket pattern provides the pattern pieces and instructions for cutting on the bias and construction instructions. LOVE it and plan to make a ton more...Thanks Patty for a fantastic design!!!

Box 325 Emory, Texas Fun with Shaving Cream Foiled Again Kantan Couture Creating Your Own Fabric This was an awesome class! Trish provided a great handout for us to follow during the creating your own fabric class. During the class we were all given a piece of wet fabric, plastic bag, bag of salt and some fabric inks to try. The textile inks Trish Stuart spoke about were Tsukineko brand. The inks are a lot like dyes with one major exception they are NON-Toxic and you do not need to mix a bunch of chemicals to make the design permanent. The Tsukineko inks can be used on any natural fibers like wool, linen, cotton, rayon, hemp etc. The other really cool thing about the Tsukineko inks is that once they are heat set they are there forever- you can't even bleach them out. I purchase the Tsukineko ink in 1/2 oz bottles, marker pens and ink pad. When we made our example in class we applied the Tsukineko ink with a Fantastix brush onto the wet fabric with broad strokes. Then we sprinkled the salt all over the fabric that was "painted" with ink, we wrapped the fabric into plastic bags because time did not permit us to finish. But later that night I took my fabric out to dry, then I wiped off the salt and ironed it to set the ink. I was going to take a photo so share, but I made my sample in hot pink and one of my twins "borrowed it". Below is my first try at fabric painting. I followed the DVD purchased from Trish. It came out pretty considering I had purchased limited ink colors. The DVD was great I have watched it several times and pick up something new each time! |
