I started my resolved piece by making a base piece of blue fabric scraps stitched together.

Then I layered up yellow fabric scraps holding them down with pins (the fabric is on a piece of corrugated cardboard so that I could stab the pins into it) .

After putting down a few layers of yellow scraps I then placed six 8x8cm squares of fabric on top…

…and then covered the entire piece with gold organza and tacked it all into place.

I traced my chosen pattern onto tissue paper, tacked this onto the piece and stitched with my sewing machine (small running stitch).

After all the lines were stitched I carefully removed the tissue paper.

With all the preparation done I started slashing!
And then stopped.
I decided halfway through that I didn’t like what I was doing. I left it a while and returned to it today in a far better mood about it! So I carried on slashing!
