It’s Sew Easy Student Artwork

I wanted to share some of the beautiful mixed media stitch artwork that's my It's Sew Easy students have been making!  It's a great group of talented ladies.  Some who have just bought their very first sewing machines.  Some who have been sewing for years.  Some who feel really comfortable with all the paint and doodling.  And some who are brand new to a mixed media way of thinking!  I love the mixture!

Our first project was a stitched banner using hand painted papers.  This is my example:

And here is a garland from Jeanette:

And one from Emy:

Lynn was super clever and made a banner from hands and shoes:

Lisa was a sewing demon:

  • Thanks so much for posting all these gorgeous projects, Julie. I got a little emotional with relief when I realized we’ll have access to the class for a whole year. I broke my foot rather badly and folowed it up with some massive illness that has made me so sick and fevered I’ve been stuck in bed. All the while I’ve been worried I’ll miss this class. Looks like I’ll have time to catch up, which will hopefully be soon.

    I’m not going to join in with the classes but I pop in and check out every post. I can’t believe your dedication to posting. It’s very convenient it comes to my email and I pop over to see your pics. I don’t often comment, even now I have a little one pulling on my sleeve, but just wanted you to know I do stop by and appreciate your blogging inspiration. I love it.
