| Self-Portrait by Donna Q. |
This project can be done with a flair for realism or with a flair for your alter-ego. Since it is not going to be photo realism, I suggest the fun of the alter-ego. Rather than choosing beige batik for the face and brown, black, blond or grey for the hair, chose colors that you love or reflect a part of your personality. The only rule is to have fun and use your imaginations.
All done in batiks
2 fat quarters for background
1 piece minimum 8 x 10 inches for face
1 piece minimum 12 x 12 inches for hair
A few larger scraps about the size of your hands or so
Small scraps for facial features
Embellishment objects like buttons, charms, scrabble letters, etc.
(What do you like to do? Quilt, garden, grandkids, horses, dogs, books, cook, sew, swim ...)
18 x 22" fusible batting
Steam-a-seam 2 Light or Wonder-Under for fusible applique;
enough to fuse all the features.
Sewing machine - preferably one with fancy stitches
Scissors
4 or 5 different colors of thread
matching and contrasting
A sense of humor and fun imagination
Optional: Free motion foot
We will also need a few irons and ironing boards or ironing pads
and plug strips.
