    Mending as Practice and Expression Pocosin Arts Online - August 2021 Material Suggestions I want this experience to ft with what you have on hand and what you want to learn! I will link to sources of some supplies I like below, but there is no need to purchase anything unless you want to and think you will use it. You can also check the links to compare supplies to those you may already have. And of course you can get supplies anywhere you like. The most important thing you will need is some fabric scraps or worn-out textles to practce mending on (not your absolute favorite thing to start with). There are two broad categories of fabrics, based on how they are made; woven (like jeans, dress shirts, and sheets) and knited (like sweaters, socks, and T-shirts). We will talk a lot more about these in class. Each type lends itself to somewhat diferent tools and techniques. If you can, I encourage you to fnd a few scraps of each type to practce on, ideally in fabrics that are similar to the items you want to mend. These will also be a good source of material to cut patches from. I will be in touch before our class starts to fnd out about the projects you want to work on. For now, here are some general suggestons of materials and tools you may want to have on hand. In the meantme, feel free to contact me with any questons! [email protected] Threads You may want to use anything from sewing thread to wool yarn in your mending, depending on what you want to fx.

  • Sashiko - How To
    Sashiko - How to Basic materials: (1) Fabric : Flat-woven, loose-woven Cotton or cotton/Linen. (2) Waxed carbon paper for transferring pattern (Chacopy© from Clover Co.ltd.,) (3) Soft Tracing Wheel or Tracer Pen (both from Clover Co.Ltd.,) (4) Mid-weight sheet protectors (5) Sashiko needles (6) Thread: Sashiko thread, or Pearl Cotton #8 or #5 Transferring patterns 1). Lay flat the fabric, right side up, and pin the paper pattern on to the fabric. 2). Insert a waxed carbon in between the fabric and the pattern, waxed side down. You may need to take a couple of pins out and place the carbon and re-pin the entire layers. 3). If you would like to protect paper patterns and carbon paper from ripping or damaging by a tracing tool, put a sheet protector on top of paper pattern and pin entire layer. 4). Using a soft edge tracing wheel or Tracer pen, trace the pattern to the fabric. You need to press the wheel down harder to have a clear marking on to the fabric. 5). Carefully remove the pins. The transferred mark will be erased by dabbing with water. The transferred mark will become permanent by applying heat, so do not iron until you are done Sashiko stitching and erase the remaining line with water. How to handle thread One skein of Olympus Sashiko threads is 40 meters long (44 yds). Remove the paper band and open out the skein. Look for the extra loop of thread tied around the skein and cut through all the threads at this point.

  • Celebrates Its First Birthday at the Duchess Theatre with Booking Period Extended to September 2016
    Press Release: 8 September 2015 CELEBRATES ITS FIRST BIRTHDAY AT THE DUCHESS THEATRE WITH BOOKING PERIOD EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 2016 THE ORIGINAL CAST ARE BACK IN THE WEST END WITH A SEASONAL RUN OF PETER PAN GOES WRONG AT THE APOLLO THEATRE The Play That Goes Wrong, the Olivier Award-winning box office hit, celebrates its first, triumphant year in the West End, and as a new booking period opens with tickets going on sale until 11 September 2016, the show's phenomenal popularity with audiences looks set to continue. For a limited run over the festive season at the Apollo Theatre, the original cast of The Play That Goes Wrong will bring their trademark comic mayhem to the J.M. Barrie classic and timeless favourite, Peter Pan. In Peter Pan Goes Wrong, the members of The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society once again battle against technical hitches, flying mishaps and cast disputes on their way to Neverland with hilarious and disastrous results. Awarded the 2014 Whatsonstage.com Best New Comedy and the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, The Play That Goes Wrong continues to thrive and it is a remarkable rags-to-riches story. The production's unparalleled trajectory of success began in 2013, when it opened as a one-act show at the Old Red Lion in London with only four paying members of the public at the first performance. This was followed by a transfer to the Trafalgar Studios, where the show's unique potential was spotted by producers Kenny Wax and Stage Presence, and subsequently to the Duchess Theatre.
