SUMMARY:Let's Explore - Embellishing by machine or hand
DESCRIPTION:Let’s try exploring hand and machine embellishing together. \nEmbellishers are also known as felting machines and they work using barbed needles to ‘felt’ fabrics and fibres into a base fabric. \nYou can create interesting coloured and textured surfaces to use on their own\, or as a base for free-motion embroidery; add texture to wool fabrics\, decorate textile surfaces… let your imagination run! \nThose of us with embellishers will bring our machines to share the potential of the embellishing machine. If you have one languishing in the cupboard\, time to dust it off and bring it along and give it an airing. \nEqually\, if you prefer to work by hand\, Nicola and others can set you on that path. \n\nInspiration \n\n\nWhat to bring \n\na firm piece of fabric eg calico\, light weight canvas\nsoft things to embellish with\, such as wool tops\, lace\, chiffon\, fine silks…\na hand embellisher (or needle-felting tool) if you have one and that’s what you want to explore\nspare needles for your embellishing machine or hand tool\nyour usual collection of sewing kit\, scissors\, notebook etc…\nyour sense of adventure!\nyour lunch (or cash to purchase lunch nearby)\nNote: your membership provides tea\, green tea\, instant coffee\, milk and mugs\n\nHow to find Kingborough Women’s Club Rooms \n\nUpcoming Explore Days \n\nApril 12 (NOTE: 2nd Sunday due to Easter Sunday)\nMay 3\nJune  7\nJuly  5\nAugust  2\nSeptember  6\nOctober  4\nNovember  8 (NOTE: 2nd Sunday due to Tasmanian Craft Fair – Deloraine)\nDecember  6\n\n\nHow to join KWC and attend our regular Explore Days \n\nAny financial member of the Kingborough Women’s Club (KWC) ($40 per annum) is welcome to join our monthly Let’s Explore Sundays at no extra cost.\n\n\nIf you aren’t already a KWC member you can apply here then scan or photograph your form and email it to sandbmemberships@gmail.com with “KWC Application” in the header.\nAlternatively\, you could bring the form with you on a Let’s Explore Sunday.\n\n\nOnce we reply to your email\, then please make payment directly to KWC.\nThe annual fee is $40 and is due 1 July each year.

SUMMARY:Let's Explore - Maximising the Cabochon Effect
DESCRIPTION:Cabochons are those very exotic pieces of glass that inspire images of the Middle East and other exotic places in history. \nWith Pauline’s guidance we will create an encrusted cabochon with stitch and seed beads (no glue!) \nYou will be shown how to bead around a cabochon without glueing – the beads will hold it in place. You can then expand on this to make a pendant or brooch. \nPauline will provide the base silk fabric\, stabilised with iron-on interfacing\, in various colours to choose from. \n  \n\nWhat to bring \n\nA flat gemstone cabochon (i.e. amethyst/agate) approx. 3.5 – 5 cm\, as close to an oval as possible – it must be flat (see the image below) Pauline will have a few for sale\n\n \n\nBugle beads and seed beads in your colour choice – also a few small feature beads\nMatching thread and a needle small enough to go through the beads\nA small pair of scissors\nYour lunch (or cash to purchase lunch nearby)\nNote: your membership provides tea\, green tea\, instant coffee\, milk and mugs\n\nHow to find Kingborough Women’s Club Rooms \n\nUpcoming Explore Days \n\nMarch 1 – Embellishing by machine or hand\nApril  12 (Note\, April 5 is Easter)\nMay 3\nJune  7\nJuly  5\nAugust  2\nSeptember  6\nOctober  4\nNovember  8\nDecember  6\n\n\nHow to join KWC and attend our regular Explore Days \n\nAny financial member of the Kingborough Women’s Club (KWC) ($40 per annum) is welcome to join our monthly Let’s Explore Sundays at no extra cost.\n\n\nIf you aren’t already a KWC member you can apply here then scan or photograph your form and email it to sandbmemberships@gmail.com with “KWC Application” in the header.\nAlternatively\, you could bring the form with you on a Let’s Explore Sunday.\n\n\nOnce we reply to your email\, then please make payment directly to KWC.\nThe annual fee is $40 and is due 1 July each year.

SUMMARY:Let's Explore - Yarn Dyeing
DESCRIPTION:Sally knows all about dyeing yarns and has generously agreed to inspire you to create your own yarns. It is rather fun to have some of your own uniquely coloured threads on hand to use on a whim! The main focus of the day is learning about cellulose yarn dyeing but there will be time to focus on your own current project\, plus all the usual sharing that happens. \nWe can never assume wonderful weather even in December!  Please bring plastic drop-cloths and a few old towels in case we are working inside. I am all too aware we are using dye!! Please consider wearing  older clothes. \nIn preparation\, please collect every variety of yarn you can find –  op shops are often a good source. Swapping with others on the day may add to your variety. Collect a variety (in skein or ball form) – cotton\, bamboo\, rayon of different plys\, textures etc – mostly white but feel free to experiment with ecru or other pale shades to over-dye if you wish. Do not prepare them in any way before the day. \nThere will be a $4 charge on the day to cover consumables such as dye\, chemicals and printed notes for all who attend. \n\nInspiration \n\n\nWhat to bring \n\nWinding\n\nPiece of cardboard\, 50cm long (and at least 15cm wide for stability)\nScissors\nOptional: yarn swift\n** we can also “buddy up” and use a helper to hold the yarn\, or use a chair or similar object to wrap yarn around\n\n\nDyeing\n\nCellulose yarn skein/s (e.g. 100g of cotton yarn)\nPlastic measuring spoons and cups (metric)\nPlastic or stainless steel containers (for soaking and dyeing\, 2–5 litre capacity)\nStirring utensil (plastic or stainless steel)\nPlastic wrap or resealable bags (optional\, for batch dyeing)\nScales (accurate to 0.1g for measuring dye and chemicals)\nTimer (optional)\nA sheet of plastic or an opened out garbage bag to cover your table space plus an old towel (bath towel size)\nDust mask and gloves (for safety when handling dye powder)\nApron\nHand towel for hands and possible spillages\nKitty litter trays for taking goodies home\n\n\n$4 to cover dyes and chemicals\nYour lunch (or cash to purchase lunch nearby)\nNote: your membership provides tea\, green tea\, instant coffee\, milk and mugs\n\nAnd…. please don’t go and buy dye scales or timer if you don’t have them already. There will be at least one set for sharing. \nHow to find Kingborough Women’s Club Rooms \n\nUpcoming Explore Days \nThat’s a wrap for this year! \nWe are always grateful to receive offers or ideas on themed exploration days. If you would like to be involved in 2026\, please contact us to discuss. \n\nHow to join KWC and attend our regular Explore Days \n\nAny financial member of the Kingborough Women’s Club (KWC) ($40 per annum) is welcome to join our monthly Let’s Explore Sundays at no extra cost.\n\n\nIf you aren’t already a KWC member you can apply here then scan or photograph your form and email it to sandbmemberships@gmail.com with “KWC Application” in the header.\nAlternatively\, you could bring the form with you on a Let’s Explore Sunday.\n\n\nOnce we reply to your email\, then please make payment directly to KWC.\nThe annual fee is $40 and is due 1 July each year.

SUMMARY:Let's Explore - Machine Embroidery
DESCRIPTION:There’s been lots of requests to explore this wonderful skill that has endless possibilities. Again\, no single tutor\, but several members on hand (with a large book collection) to help guide the exploration of basic skills. \nThis is an experimentation/practice day to introduce free machining\, not a project day. The plan is to further extend free machining skills one Sunday early in 2026\, and then quite possibly to contract a highly skilled tutor to run a 3 day workshop down the track. The skills to practise can range from simply gaining control over the beast when you drop the feed dogs\, to exploring texture and design as you become more competent. \n We are not digitising. This is free machining.  \n\nInspiration  \n\nIrene Manion and Deb Campbell introduced some basics in recent Stitching and Beyond workshops. Use Google to explore work by these artists and many\, many others.\nGoogle videos by Dionne Swift for example.\nCheck out Pinterest\, but don’t go down too many rabbit holes!!\nOr work on whatever takes your fancy!!\n\n\nWhat to bring \n\nThreads!! Don’t buy extra for this experimentation day but possibilities include cotton\, rayon\, polyester threads in various colours\, including light and dark\, black\, white and grey.  Variegated and metallic if you already own these. Easiest to organise if you choose within a colour palette that you enjoy working with e.g. monochromatic\, white through to black. You should find something with which you feel comfortable among these suggestions that Irene Manion made\, although your choices may be limited by your stash! e.g. Turquoise and brown\, turquoise and purple\, cool blue and yellow\, warm blues with greys\, pink and green. The colours can be contrasting or harmonious. Matching variegated threads will work well and include these if you have them in your stash.\nSome people choose to wear safety glasses when machine embroidering.\nYou can choose to use calico in a fairly large hoop (the inner ring bound with calico)\, OR prepare some A4 pieces of plain white cotton or calico fused together to make a stable surface OR fuse some wadding to calico or cotton sheeting to give a stable surface.\nYour usual collection of scissors\, notebook etc…\nOr work on whatever takes your fancy!\nYour lunch (or cash to purchase lunch nearby)\nNote: your membership provides tea\, green tea\, instant coffee\, milk and mugs\n\nHow to find Kingborough Women’s Club Rooms \n\nUpcoming Explore Days \n\n14 September – Embellishing by machine or hand (NOTE: 2nd Sunday due to Father’s Day)\n5 October – Social Stitch Day\n9 November – Dyeing threads (NOTE: 2nd Sunday due to Tasmanian Craft Fair – Deloraine)\n7 December – Maximising the cabochon effect with stitch and no glue!\n\n\nHow to join KWC and attend our regular Explore Days \n\nAny financial member of the Kingborough Women’s Club (KWC) ($40 per annum) is welcome to join our monthly Let’s Explore Sundays at no extra cost.\n\n\nIf you aren’t already a KWC member you can apply here then scan or photograph your form and email it to sandbmemberships@gmail.com with “KWC Application” in the header.\nAlternatively\, you could bring the form with you on a Let’s Explore Sunday.\n\n\nOnce we reply to your email\, then please make payment directly to KWC.\nThe annual fee is $40 and is due 1 July each year.

SUMMARY:Let's Explore - Kawandi
DESCRIPTION:What is Kawandi? \nIn India\, ‘Kawandi’ means quilt. It is a technique developed by the Siddis\, an African community brought to India more than 800 years ago. It is made with recycled materials\, entirely by hand. The process is engaging\, creative\, relaxed and sustainable. It is an interesting visual example of repetitive stitching\, a technique that is used to great effect in modern stitching. \nExploring Kawandi \nWe will start a small sample quilt (around 50cm wide) in order to get the hang of the technique. It could be a short table runner\, table mat\, or cushion cover size. By making a sample size on the day\, you will be able to consider a few things before attempting a larger quilt. \nThe most important thing is that both backing fabric and wadding are thin for ease of stitching. This allows for having to sew through 4 thicknesses of fabric. Soft\, drapey\, aged or even slightly worn backing fabrics are best. The backing needs to be 3-5cm larger all around than the wadding. \nPlease bring plenty of light weight cotton fabric scraps from your stash or suitable lightweight recycled fabrics! \nWe will start off stitching scraps onto the folded border and upon completion of the first row all the way around\, will insert the wadding close to the first row of stitches. \n   \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n\nInspiration \nLisa will be leading our exploration into Kawandi this month. She has recommended some YouTube resources to inspire you. Lisa particularly recommends the one by Kieren Dutcher. \n\nWorks Created by Margaret Fabrizio in 2022 (atree3)\nMake a Kawandi Quilt (Kieren Dutcher)\nKawandi – Techniques & Tips for Your First Quilt (Marion’s World)\nReviving the Art of Siddi Quilts (30 Stades)\n\n\nWhat to bring \nWe have provided a list of materials to consider bringing.  No need to purchase fabrics – just bring what you already have in your stash! \n\nDownload the list – Exploring Kawandi\nYour lunch.

SUMMARY:Let's Explore - Coasters\, cords\, buttons & beads
DESCRIPTION:We will be exploring the art of wet felting with Robyn Delaney.  Robyn will demonstrate some basic techniques to make small items such as coasters\, cords\, buttons and beads. These can be easily made with small amounts of wool tops or pre-felt. \nWhile coasters can be made for their own sake\, for Robyn they are usually a by-product of making samples for larger projects. They can be a way to hone colour choices or to learn how to make straight edges and square corners. \nFelted cords\, buttons and beads can be used on their own\, embellished with hand stitch or incorporated into other textile and fibre projects. \n\nInspiration \n\n\nWhat to bring \nWe have provided a list of materials to bring. Please don’t buy anything. Robyn will bring extras of most things. Just bring what you already have in your stash! \n\nA small amount of wool top/roving in the colours of your choice or what you have available.\nPlease don’t buy – Robyn will bring some of her stash for the price of a gold coin donation.\n2 square-ish pieces of bubble wrap. These don’t need to be larger than 40×40 cm each.\nA 20cm square card or paper with a dark outlined edge (your “template”) if you want to make coasters.\nA small old towel or two to put on your table and under the bubble wrap etc\, to keep the floor dry.\nA small amount of soap or detergent (there will be some to share).\nA small/medium container for the water/soap mix – eg a 1kg yogurt or ice-cream container.\nAn implement to transfer small amounts of soapy water to your project. This can be a plastic bottle with a few holes in the lid or a scrunched up plastic shopping bag.\nA thin pencil\, chopstick or thick piece of wire or similar to form or maintain a hole in any beads you make. Alternatively\, you can make them directly onto your new cord.\nIf you want to make lots of beads\, then a bowl with a lid to rattle the soft beads around would make them faster.\nYou could also bring some small pieces of thin silk or open weave cotton or other fibres to use as embellishments if you wanted to.\nYour lunch (there are also shops nearby if you prefer) Note: your membership provides tea\, green tea\, instant coffee\, milk and mugs\n\n\nAlternatively\, bring your choice of another project\n\n\nUpcoming Explore Days \n\n6 April – Lift Your Art Supplies Game!\n4 May – Tasmanian Flora\n8 June – TBA\n6 July – Social Stitch Day\n3 August – TBA\n14 September – TBA (NOTE: 2nd Sunday due to Father’s Day)\n5 October – Social Stitch Day\n9 November – Dyeing Threads (NOTE: 2nd Sunday due to Tasmanian Craft Fair – Deloraine)\n7 December – TBA\n\n\nHow to join KWC and attend our regular Explore Days \n\nAnyone who is a financial member of the Kingborough Women’s Club (KWC) ($40 per annum) is welcome to join our monthly Let’s Explore Sundays at no extra cost.\n\n\nIf you aren’t already a KWC member you can apply here then scan or photograph your form and email it to sandbmemberships@gmail.com with “KWC Application” in the header.\nAlternatively\, you could bring the form with you on a Let’s Explore Sunday.\n\n\nOnce we reply to your email\, then please make payment directly to KWC.\nThe annual fee is $40 and is due 1 July each year.\n\n

SUMMARY:Let's Explore - Transparent Fabrics
DESCRIPTION:** Note: this activity has been rescheduled to 5 January 2025.  \nThis month Sue Roberts will lead us in exploring ideas for using fine\, see-through fabrics in creative ways. We will be focusing on very simple hand stitching rather than machine stitching during the Sunday session. \nExamples of transparent fabrics include organdy\, organza or similar sheer fabrics including ribbons (commonly used by florists)\, tulle\, fine lace with larger holes\, and scrim (open weave bandage fabric). \nThese fabrics can be: \n\nlayered to alter the colour or shade of the fabric underneath\nstitched over with decorative stitches\nroughly torn or neatly edged\, depending upon the effect you like\ntwisted and shaped\nmade into light-weight three-dimensional shapes that can be attached to a base fabric\nused to cover and hold small lightweight objects in place with simple decorative stitching\nstitched by hand or machine\n\n\nInspiration \n \n \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\nWhat to bring \nWe have provided a list of materials to consider bringing. There will also be fabrics and some thin quilting available to share\, so please don’t buy.  Just bring what you already have in your stash! \n\nTwo pieces of fabric around 30 cm square to use as a base (eg. patterned cotton patchwork or fabric you have dyed)\nA piece of thin quilt backing around 30 cm square\nSmall pieces of transparent fabric as listed above (eg. organdy\, organza\, tulle\, fine lace\, scrim\, gauze)\nA few finer threads such as sewing machine thread\, stranded cotton\, perle 8 or 12 embroidery thread\nSmall lightweight smooth objects to anchor in place under fabric (eg. beads\, shells\, foam shapes)\nPins\, needles\, and scissors\nA medium size embroidery hoop if you like to use one\nPieces you have made incorporating sheer fabrics\, scrim etc to inspire us all!\nYour lunch (there are also shops nearby if you prefer) Note: your membership provides tea\, green tea\, instant coffee\, milk and mugs\n\n\nAlternatively\, bring your choice of another project\n\n\nUpcoming Explore Days \n\nStay tuned for updates!\n\n\nHow to join KWC and attend our regular Explore Days \n\nAny financial Stitching and Beyond member who is also a member of the Kingborough Women’s Club (KWC) ($40 per annum) is welcome to join our monthly Let’s Explore Sundays at no extra cost.\n\n\nIf you aren’t already a KWC member you can apply here then scan or photograph your form and email it to sandbmemberships@gmail.com with “KWC Application” in the header.\nAlternatively\, you could bring the form with you on a Let’s Explore Sunday.\n\n\nOnce we reply to your email\, then please make payment directly to KWC.\nThe annual fee is $40 and is due 1 July each year.\n\n

SUMMARY:Let's Explore - Cyanotype Printing
DESCRIPTION:This month (assuming we don’t have rain!) we will be exploring cyanotype (commonly called blue printing). \nCyanotype is a photographic printing process using two chemicals (ferric ammonium and potassium ferricyanide) which react with UV light to produce a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings\, referred to as blueprints. \nWe will use botanical elements (leaves or grasses)\, stencils\, doilies or lace to create decorative prints. Even if the weather is cloudy\, the process will deliver amazing results! \nCopyright: Margaret Jones \nCopyright: Margaret Jones \nCopyright: Margaret Jones \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWhat to bring \n\nrequirements list (courtesy of Margaret Jones)\nyour lunch (or cash to purchase lunch nearby)\, tea and/or coffee and a mug\n\nHow to find Kingborough Women’s Club Rooms \n\nUpcoming Explore Days \n\n1 December – Using transparent fabrics\n\n\nHow to join KWC and attend our regular Explore Days \n\nAny financial Stitching and Beyond member who is also a member of the Kingborough Women’s Club (KWC) ($40 per annum) is welcome to join our monthly Let’s Explore Sundays at no extra cost.\n\n\nIf you aren’t already a KWC member you can apply here then scan or photograph your form and email it to sandbmemberships@gmail.com with “KWC Application” in the header.\nAlternatively\, you could bring the form with you on a Let’s Explore Sunday.\n\n\nOnce we reply to your email\, then please make payment directly to KWC.\nThe annual fee is $40 and is due 1 July each year.

SUMMARY:Let's Explore - Mounting and Hanging Your Artworks
DESCRIPTION:Let’s talk about what makes successful mounting and hanging \n\nToday’s Let’s Explore is essentially a sharing time so bring your works in progress and anything else you wish to talk about. \nDuring the day we will focus on sharing tips and tricks on how to make our work look really professional once it is hanging. This applies particularly to the Challenge pieces\, as they have to be wrangled in and out of their carrying case 10 times in the year. It will also help when submitting your work for the next Out of Hand in 2025 or other exhibitions. \nPlease bring pieces you feel look professional when hanging\, and pieces you may be having difficulty with\, or feel could look better. This is not about paying large amounts of money to have someone else frame and present your work. Instead it is about understanding how to prepare work for this final stage to look great when hung on a wall at home or at any exhibition. \nWe’ve asked some experienced people to share their expertise and would love for everyone to share their own tips and tricks. \n\nWhat to bring \n\nAny mounted art works which you think look professional\nAny works you feel could look better\nAny other works for which you’d like advice on how to best mount and hang\nYour current project to work on or things you’d like to share\nYour lunch (alternatively there are lots of places to buy lunch nearby)\n\n\n\nAny financial Stitching and Beyond member who is also a member of the KWC ($40 per year from July 1) is welcome to join our Sundays at no extra cost.

SUMMARY:Let's Explore - Kawandi
DESCRIPTION:What is Kawandi? \nIn India\, ‘Kawandi’ means quilt. It is a technique developed by the Siddis\, an African community brought to India more than 800 years ago. It is made with recycled materials\, entirely by hand. The process is engaging\, creative\, relaxed and sustainable. It is an interesting visual example of repetitive stitching\, a technique that is used to great effect in modern stitching. \nExploring Kawandi \nWe will start a small sample quilt (around 50cm wide) in order to get the hang of the technique. It could be a short table runner\, table mat\, or cushion cover size. By making a sample size on the day\, you will be able to consider a few things before attempting a larger quilt. \nThe most important thing is that both backing fabric and wadding are thin for ease of stitching. This allows for having to sew through 4 thicknesses of fabric. Soft\, drapey\, aged or even slightly worn backing fabrics are best. The backing needs to be 3-5cm larger all around than the wadding. \nPlease bring plenty of light weight cotton fabric scraps from your stash or suitable lightweight recycled fabrics! \nWe will start off stitching scraps onto the folded border and upon completion of the first row all the way around\, will insert the wadding close to the first row of stitches. \n   \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n\nInspiration \nLisa will be leading our exploration into Kawandi this month. She has recommended some YouTube resources to inspire you. Lisa particularly recommends the one by Kieren Dutcher. \n\nWorks Created by Margaret Fabrizio in 2022 (atree3)\nMake a Kawandi Quilt (Kieren Dutcher)\nKawandi – Techniques & Tips for Your First Quilt (Marion’s World)\nReviving the Art of Siddi Quilts (30 Stades)\n\n\nWhat to bring \nWe have provided a list of materials to consider bringing.  No need to purchase fabrics – just bring what you already have in your stash! \n\nDownload the list – Exploring Kawandi\nYour lunch. An alternative: lots of lunch places to buy lunch nearby\n\n\nSome people enjoy doing these with Japanese inspired fabrics rather than scrap\, so if you are searching for needles or Japanese fabrics\, here are our lovely local sources: \n\nLittle Japanese Haberdashery\nSarah stocks needles (and fabrics if you are tempted)\nOpen Tuesday and Thursday\, 10 – 2\nINSIDE the old warehouse\, 16 Smith St\, North Hobart\nhttps://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleJapaneseHab\n\n\nWafu Works\nJan stocks lovely fabrics if you are tempted but not needles\nOpen Wednesday to Saturday\, 10 – 4:30\n18 Beach Road\, Kingston\nhttps://www.wafuworks.com.au/\n\n\nAny financial Stitching and Beyond member who is also a member of the KWC ($40 per year from July 1) is welcome to join our Sundays at no extra cost.
