84 Group Textile Retreat

Just back from Avalon Homestead where my textile group had a few days playing with fabric and threads. The homestead is well set up for craft groups, there’s plenty of tables to work on, the food is good and it’s a beautiful setting in the countryside.
Here a few photos that I took.

These pics are of a scarf I made using a recycled woollen jumper, yarns and FME cotton print fabric

             
I sandwiched wool and yarns between layers of water soluble fabric and  free machine stitched to hold them together. I cut out some flowers from a printed fabric.
   
I stitched around the edges to stop them fraying. After I washed away the water soluble fabric i stitched the fabric flowers on to the scarf. That’s it!
