I've been working on some mixed media artworks inspired by dress makers pattern paper I came across quite by accident. I recently bought a vase and the shop used old dress makers paper to wrap it in. I fell in love with the lines and arrows and thought it might be fun to layer them as the paper is quite opaque. This piece will be one of a series that will be on show at the Reverse Garbage Emporium from the 11 May 2013.
Now if I could only learn to sew all the little lines and arrows might actually mean something!
Your sewing patterns caught my eye at the Exhibition. I agree with you, the paper they make patterns from has so many uses.
