Make a Model Stitched House

By Andrea Butler

This resource was developed to to celebrate the character and diversity of the many beautiful stitched houses we received as part of an AccessArt participatory project called the AccessArt Village.  It’s a simple way to build a collection of architectural models and allows for lots of different configurations and layouts.

The first step is to create a sewn image of your favourite building using any textile method that you like or by combining methods like printing, painting or fabric crayons and then adding stitch or using free stitching and fabric scraps to create a textured drawing.
