JETS Competittion Success


Five of our JETS sent work off to the De Denne competition: “Underfoot”.
The girls started last September marbling fabric to use as a backing, which they took home to stitch into to form the background grass/mud.  Then in November they used Image Maker to add a photocopied picture of a trainer to fabric, and added holes and eyelets to add laces to their trainers.  Adding more stitching at home using French knots, straight stitches and even arrow stitch, they transformed the trainers.


  

  

They worked really hard in their own time as well as in sessions planned by us to make their pieces.  We are so proud of them all, but especially on finding out that Jess had won Third Prize for hers:

Beth used her own time to make the most magnificent pigeon sitting on a leaf, which won Second Prize:
The leaf was from another JETS session, and the pigeon was made from offcuts of material and lace sewn together to form a lovely bird.
We are really proud of her, as the pigeon was her own design and she made it as well as a trainer.
