How to Sew Art Part Two on The Best of Sewing With Nancy
On today’s featured episode of The Best of Sewing With Nancy, Nancy Zieman and Tammie Bowser continue with part two of How to Sew Art. Start with a photo, choose fabrics, and then follow steps to turn a common digital image into spectacular wall art. Tammie Bowser, a quilt innovator, will show how to transform ordinary fabric into fine art.
In last Thursday’s blog posting, we shared an overview of How to Sew Art Part One, including choosing a photo, downloading the software, printing the pattern, creating a fusible web sandwich, and selecting fabrics.
- Either of Tammie’s two software programs will turn your photo into a pattern. Choose from the Stitch-A-Sketch Art Quilt Software or Quilted Photo Deluxe 2.0 Art Quilt Software.
Watch How to Sew Art part two, and see the magic happen!
