In this workshop, participants will create a textile collage that can ultimately be turned into an artwork, a cushion or incorporated into a larger scale quilt.  Drawing on inspiration from the Japanese stitching methods of boro and sashiko, Lisa will show participants how to layer fabrics and use the simple stab stitch method to hold them all together.  A stitched silhouette can then be added using embroidering techniques. Trims and other embellishments can then be added for further effect.

Students will receive a specially chosen selection of reclaimed textiles, threads and embellishments collected by Lisa over her years of hunting.

Requirements: General hand sewing supplies; needles, threads, scissors, unpicker.   Any trims, lace, scraps or beautiful fabrics to feature in your collages.
