I am now able to show you a little of what's happening in class, in my 12 month stitch along class. We are in the very early stages of this year long programme, we're making pockets. The first two images here are of my second pocket which for now is minimally embellished. This one is layer upon layer of aged cloth and aged lace. It will eventually be folded and resemble the image below.
The next image is work from the very first week of class. Our pockets are concerned with memory and history...that's all I can say about that really without giving it all away. The two embroidered scraps laid on the dress here reference special memories for me, special relationships. The vintage dress will also come into play with regard to this work but not for a few weeks yet.
