Programme overview
Create a stunning landscape using scraps of fabric by combining gluing and stitching techniques to form an artistic scene. Start with a sturdy base fabric and arrange your fabric scraps to represent elements like the sky, hills, trees, and water. Use fabric glue to secure the scraps in place, allowing you to experiment with layering and positioning before stitching. Once dry, enhance the design with hand or machine stitches to add texture and definition, blending edges for a cohesive look. Add finer details, such as flowers, birds, or clouds, using embroidery or additional glued embellishments. This eco-friendly project turns leftover materials into a vibrant and unique piece of art.
