Remnants

Although I brainstormed many ideas for Remnants, I knew I would go with the literal, having SO many remnants piled high in crates. Inspired by bolts of upholstery fabrics I used a few of my upholstery remnants to create this piece. My sketch to get me going...

 
Initial arrangement of remnants of course was changed many times before stitching.....


The hang-tags were made by fusing used coffee filters on both sides of fusible batting. then tied in place with embroidery thread. Rather than a literal price on each tag I experimented with a few of the stitches on my sewing machine.


Thanks for another fun challenge Brigitte!

    LOL! What fun piece this is. I'd love to upholster my wingback chairs with the fabric on the left.
