Our lovely artist Phiona Richards decided that our next Threads and Chatter project would be a three session event. She thought it would be great fun if everyone designed and made a square character soft toy.
We wrote words to describe our characters
then drew our designs,
using fabric crayons on paper,
inspired by our words.
Everyone drew very different patterns and
Phiona took them away to be
ironed onto the calico.
We can't wait to see how they turn out!
As an added bonus Phiona taught us how to fold a square Flexigon
here is a lovely video tutorial if you would like to try it yourself!
Did you know that flexigons can help you with your maths?
Our group thought they also made good square masks!
If you live in the Avondale / Grange ward do join us again
