You will need:

  • A selection of images of favourite art pieces.
  • Printable fabric.
  • Access to a printer.
  • Embroidery materials.
  • Sewing supplies.
  • Backing fabric - optional.


Do:

  • Choose your favourite parts of the images you've chosen.
  • Print those chosen parts onto the fabric.
  • You can try printing all of them on a single sheet, or print each on its own piece of fabric.
  • You can print in colour or black and white.
  • After printing, embroider each piece either faithfully or in a different set of colours.
  • When done, attach the pieces together as a blanket, a pillow cover, a wall hanging, or something else.
  • Attach your backing fabric, if applicable.


Notes:

  • If you print each on its own fabric piece, make sure to leave enough room around the edges to give room to sew them together.
  • You could even do this with photographs you've taken, and create a wall mural out of memories.
