Handmade Fabric Beads workshop

I am so excited to announce that my new online video workshop

called Handmade Fabric Beads starts on Monday, January 23, 2012.

In this step-by-step video workshop, I will show you how to make the fabric beads illustrated above.

I also show you several creative versions of this design. With these beads, you can make fabric necklaces and bracelets, incorporate it into your mixed media fabric art, embellish home decor items like pillows and curtains, as well as, closures/buttons for fabric and art journals. Included in this workshop is information on free motion sewing, beading on fabric, how to bead a loop, beading a cascading fringe, a beaded picot and much more...

The clear and concise demonstrations will show you how to make

your own colorful collection of fabric beads from beginning to end.

A pdf file is also included which you can print and keep for future reference.

You have unlimited access to this video workshop,

this means that you have access to the workshop 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

You can watch, create and play at your own pace.... ALWAYS.

This workshop does NOT have an END DATE.

It is open and accessible to you at any time.

The use of a sewing machine is preferred, but you can adapt my instructions for hand sewing.

The workshop is held in a private site and only registered members are invited.

inside STITCHED workshops

This is the latest piece I made from one of the STITCHED workshops. Jennifer Ofenstein from sewhooked.com designed this pattern as an introduction to paper piecing. If you have never taken a paper piecing workshop, this is the place to start. Jennifer is a brilliant designer with an extensive collection of original designs which include the most amazing Harry Potter themed designs and an entire Harry Potter inspired alphabet.

These are by Penney Klaproth from Annie Hutchings' workshop called Fabric Flowers 101

This is by Tracie Lampe from her workshop called Bohemian Bag

And this is by Elizabethanne Embroideries.
From Dale Anne Potter's workshop called Journal Your Landscape

The growth of STITCHED has completely amazed me.....in just 10 days, it has grown to 115 participants. WOW! Such amazing projects and giveaways.

I am so excited to announce that Contemporary Cloth has joined in as one of the STITCHED supporters. This company is donating an awesome giveaway package for a lucky STITCHED registrant.
