Teddy Bear Redwork: 25 Fresh, New Designs by Jan Rapacz, 45 Pages
Create sweet teddy bears in vintage redwork style! These 25 adorable teddy bear blocks are easy to stitch and add a touch of nostalgia to any child's room. Includes three quilt projects and accessories, such as a pillowcase, framed picture, overnight bag, and more. Plus, readers will see how to adapt redwork patterns to other mediums, such as fabric paint and appliqué, for unlimited design potential. This book has many delightful projects to stitch up for a favorite child. Easy to follow instructions. Great for beginners and experienced stitchers alike. I love to do handwork of all kinds. And I love teddy bears. So the perfect combination. The book has numerous variations of ways to use the patterns for the stitchery
I received my book in the allotted time frame. The book was in great condition. So I was happy about my purchase. Jan Rapacz has taught smocking, tatting, and silk ribbon embroidery and her patterns have been published in national needlework magazines. She lives in New Brighton, MN. Learn the basics of redwork embroidery, and begin a picture for a nursery or a child's room. This class is easily promoted by hanging a sample picture in the shop (the sample makes up quite quickly). You could also hang a sample in your local baby/children's boutique to bring new customers into your shop. A note about supplies: I've found it more effective to provide kits, for a fee, than to have each student bring her own supplies. That way I know everyone has what she needs, and supplies are consistent. Since redwork supplies are relatively inexpensive, assembling kits is not cost-prohibitive. And, especially for a one-session class, the students really appreciate being able to just "show up" without preparation. Stitches, and beginning and ending floss (pages 8-9):
- Stress stripping floss, as many beginning stitchers have never done this before, and it really does make a difference in stitch quality.
- Students use the muslin square for practicing the stitches.
- Many students fear French knots, probably because the way the stitch has been taught to them in the past has caused frustration.
Demonstrate the French knot to one or two students at a time, while the other students are practicing the outline stitch. Practice time, and pattern transfer (page 7). If you have already transferred the pattern to the fabric, this section can be very brief, referring students to the book for future reference. If not, students should take turns transferring the project pattern while the other students are practicing their stitches. Work on the project:
- Get students started on the project. Reassure them that they are not expected to finish in class.
- While students stitch, cover pressing, cleaning, storage, and display (pages 9-11).
- If you will be offering the Redwork Quilt class as an extension of this class, discuss that option.
