Make stacks of wearable and washable patches!
An ideal gathering for makers who want to create visual art celebrating diversity, honoring civil rights and collective community activism.
Make a patch to literally "wear your heart on your sleeve."
This is a festive no-sew patch project. The ideal is to make as many as you can and then embellish later at home with hand or machine stitching.
They can be pinned, machine/hand sewed onto jeans, backpacks, jackets, bags, hats or other misc. things.
We’ll be choosing our own message (perhaps a few of the 250+ Federally banned words?), selecting fabrics, mixing textile medium w/ paints, stamping words, cutting and ironing textile pieces into lots of ready to go patches.
Beginners-Intermediate-Advanced makers welcome!
