In the spirit of Pacita Abad we will combine fabric paint and stitching to create a colorful and original piece of wearable art. This is a fun and creative project that is suitable for students with any level of experience. We will use fabric paint ensuring that the fabric remains soft. We will then embellish the shirt with buttons, ribbons and simple embroidery stitches. Don’t like to sew? You can use a pen to make stitches.
Materials Fee $20 paid at beginning of class includes:
• Fabric paint and mediums
• Buttons, ribbons, embroidery floss, stick pins, needle
• Written instructions and color photos of samples
• Permanent marker and miscellaneous supplies.
Supplies Needed to bring for Class:
• Your own white or light-colored fabric item to paint on like a cotton t-shirt or blouse that is prewashed without fabric softener. The shirt doesn’t have to be new because the paint will cover any stains.
• Your usual painting supplies which should include at least 2 water containers, paper towels, a paint pallet, a fine mist spray bottle for water.
• Brushes: I prefer flat or angle white nylon brushes sizes ¾” or 1” and a liner brush. You may use the same brushes used for acrylics.
• A cardboard or plastic support for your shirt.
• Scissors
• A box of pop-up tissues is helpful (like an inexpensive brand of Kleenex from your hotel room)
• Pencil, ruler
