The theme that "happened" (I never exactly plan) for this week is interior design and involves fabric but .... DONT PANIC - alternatives to sewing will be offered"!
First, I found a stick. It shouted "wall hanging". To help get a balance of shapes and sizes for the elements I divided up a 12"x16" sheet of paper and layed the pieces out in a pleasing composition.
I cut out backing pieces of hessian fabric, approximately 1/4" bigger all round for each section.
Now you can either sew or glue to assemble. Trap a piece of ribbon or tape between the linen and the hessian layers, making a loop at the top and leaving a tail at the bottom, and sew or glue together.
Finally I added some small bulldog clips on the ribbon ends. Voila!
I hope you enjoyed this project and feel inspired to try part of it, if not it all.Join me tomorrow evening for project #2.

Absolutely gorgeous!! It's projects like this that make me wish I had a sewing machine (and some sewing skills!0
It is lovely and I love the idea of the hanging, I think anything I do will have to be hand sewn. Have a machine but not used or years!!!
This is wonderful,silly me did not realise you could use fresco paints on fabric....thanks for opening up another crafting world!

Get your machine out Margaret! So many creative possibilities!
It's always worth keeping an eye out at the recycling centre for a basic machine to play with.
Thanks and have fun. P.
Lovely project with fresh colours. Now I so wish I could find my stencil brushes, I swear they are somewhere in my craft stash!
