Ch 7 Contemporary Shi-Sha
In this section of the course I have explored using a variety of objects that can be applied to fabric using traditional patterns of shi-sha embroidery by hand and with sewing machine stitches. The outcome is four samples that are hand embroidered, machine embroidered, and a combination of both.
There have been some ups and downs with the machine embroidery, and in using some of the metallic threads for hand embroidery. I enjoyed exploring the use of bleach marks to enhance the design and some different stitches to attach objects to the fabric.
I set myself a target to complete this section within two full days. I have achieved that goal with some pleasing results. As always there are some ideas that didn't work as well as I thought, but they have been part of the learning curve.
For the detail of my samples please look at the pdf of Ch7 here.
