You can create wearable art without a sewing machine! In this diy video, we will take an old beat up, chenille robe and create a stunning patchwork, reversible jacket…all without a sewing machine. This is such a wonderful way to use up all of those left over fabric scraps. Things we will cover in this tutorial: slow stich embroidery, pockets, fusible interfacing, double sided adhesive, floral applique, velvet hearts, tea dying staining, paint splatter technique and more. With the cold winter months upon us, this is a wonderful project to cozy up with by the fireplace or watching tv. I created mine on a long RV trip, it fulfilled my need to create while I was away from my sewing room. Such an awesome hobby idea, while at the same time, creating an one-of-a-kind, high end piece of wearable art…enjoy!
