Fabric Accessories - COW Fashion Show

A few of us students from the MA fashion course at BIAD are teaming up with COW vintage to put on a fashion show in March. I'm in the process of creating a collection of fabric accessories that explore the use of re-cycling and eco-fashion. All of these pieces were made using old clothes, scrap fabrics and various used 'tit-bits' such as ribbons, buttons, beads, etc.

Stitched Portrait Quilt - Yay I've finally finished it!!!

Finally, I have finished my stitched portrait quilt!!! This was first hand-sewn on an A4 sized piece of cotton, scanned in and digitally printed on to cotton at 1 metre in length. I then quilted a few of the black lines to give it definition, and quilted the surrounding area with random stitch work.

Reversible Quilt - one side

I've been working on the stitched portrait wall quilt, and have chosen to make it a double sided / reversible quilt, so that it can be hung either side. I wanted to make this quite quickly due to time restrictions, so chose to machine quilt the majority of this particular side of the quilt. I used some bought floral fabric with a layer of shimmer net over the top, and quilted using linear and random stitching. I hand appliqued three circles on the top and hand quilted around the circles. I'll be working on the actual stitched portrait side very soon and adding it to this quilt.
