Summer Scarf Workshop with Alison McDonagh AKA Ethical Stitcher

Turn fabric scraps & thread into a beautiful, one-of-a-kind scarf in this full day workshop. Alison will advise you about colour choices & help arrange the best fabrics to combine together. You’ll be shown how to layer & stitch them using straight & zig-zag stitches on the sewing machine, but if you’re comfortable with free machine embroidering, then you are very welcome to add that to your scarf. The ends of your scarf can be finished with a row of tassels made of fabric strips, yarn & thread.

Alison will show you what else you can do with this technique of creating your own fabric, including painting & dying into the cloth.

All equipment, fabrics & threads will be provided in this workshop, but you’re welcome to bring some special scraps that you’d like to work with.

Experience of using a sewing machine is required for this workshop.
