I then had a play with my fabrics. I laid a few of the earlier dyed pieces together and incorportated some strands of wool and other materials. I laid a piece of organza over the top and using my 'new toy', I stitched them all together with a plain straight stitch but in a very ramdom pattern as you can see from the black stitch lines!!!
I then took my heat tool and burnt away at the materials. Obviously I've just started out so am at the very early stages of learning which materials burn the best and which don't do anything!!! I managed to singe all around the edges of the brown piece of material. I was very pleased with the outcome being as it was my first try at anything like this. I also can't believe how much more control you have with a 'proper' sewing machine.
If you want to have a try at the above, just a tip, make sure that you are in a very well ventilated room as the smell is really over powering!!!!
