Vintage cloth, found objects, embroidery and hand stitching are all artfully combined by Tilly Rose to create unique and practical textile artworks that tell a story.
Seek out those treasured pieces of fabric, thread, lace, ribbon, buttons, beads, photographs and other items you have stashed away, and transform them into beautiful keepsakes that record a special event, or preserve, display and celebrate a memory of a special person or place.
Use items you already own or have sourced from elsewhere to make 15 gorgeous projects, including a cloth journal, a lavender heart, a framed collage, a wall hanging and a miniature quilt. Learn new skills, such as layering and collage, hand embroidery, creating your own fabrics, transferring your designs to cloth, stamping on cloth, appliqué, embellishing, patchwork, free motion embroidery and photo transfer. Be inspired to create your own beautiful textile artworks that celebrate the lives of your loved ones and preserve your memories for generations to come.Our homes are full of treasured items from the past. Hidden away from view but never thrown away, they are our links to the special people and events that tell our story. In this beautiful and inspiring book, Tilly Rose encourages you to seek out your precious stash of pre-loved items and transform them into beautiful and practical textile artworks that celebrate the lives of your loved ones and preserve your memories for generations to come.
Tilly shows you how to make 15 gorgeous projects, including cloth journals, lavender hearts, framed collages, wall hangings and miniature quilts. All of the designs have a story to tell and are made using a plethora of vintage fabrics, threads, lace, ribbon, buttons, beads, photographs and other found items. If you don’t have a collection of suitable materials at home, you can have fun sourcing them from online marketplaces, thrift/charity stores and flea markets, and try mixing them with modern fabrics and embellishments for a more contemporary look.
The projects incorporate a range of exciting techniques, all explained through clear instructions and step-by-step photographs, including layering and collage, hand embroidery, transferring your own designs to cloth, stamping, appliqué, embellishing, patchwork, free motion embroidery and photo transfer.
This book will take you on a truly inspirational journey, encouraging you to be creative, to source and re-use materials of special significance, and to incorporate them into textile artworks that become treasured keepsakes.
