Layered Tattered & Stitched

In Layered, Tattered and Stitched, you’ll learn how to make fabric art with depth and meaning. There are techniques for collage, beading and of course sewing in traditional and non- traditional forms. Layered, Tattered and Stitched is by Ruth Rae and she offers 18 projects for you to work with. On this page, you’ll find several of those projects taken from the book. For example, if you can’t find exactly the right journal in a store, you can learn to create a mélange journal. You can also learn how to make fabric cuff bracelets or learn how to dye fabric using inkodye and the sun! This is the place for fabric projects that are Layered, Tattered and Stitched!
