Watching you I imagine I’m across the table from you in your darling home. I’m stitching on my project and sharing a pot of tea with you. Thank you. I enjoyed our time together.
Lovely to spend time in your company again . So sorry for your loss. Please keep making videos, I look out for them and enjoy everything , your voice is so friendly.
Yes!! This is exactly the way I learned Trapunto over 60+ years ago, although I have taken to "cheating" recently by slitting the back and adding stuffing. Time for me to get back to the traditional way as it really makes a much nicer piece of work.
You'd still slit the back and add the stuffing if it was a larger area... The roving in the needle technique is how lines have always been done. I thought this was an easier way of showing it to a new audience... What sort of thing have you been making with it? It seems to have fallen out of fashion a bit.. Time for us to bring it back!
@@marionsworld24 I use it mostly on small, tabletop, arty projects. Nothing really "useful" as I don't need pillows, and I haven't any wall space for hanging pieces.
Thank you😊 for showing how to do the trapunto! Im going to watch it again because I never did this old fashion way- this is new for me- thank you and thank for other things you show us❤😊-
You remind e so much of my ‘Geordie’ neighbour when I was first married, so helpful and kind and into knitting and sewing - skills that she passed on to me. Thankyou for such an interesting video on the art of ‘Trapunto’ More please!
Wow! Another first for Marion's World. You are an excellent teacher. What a different technique. This should go viral. I can see this decorating a blouse collar.
Thank you Marion for yet another beautiful adventure in stitching. Trapunto is a technique I have seen in antique quilts. I have never tried it myself and always wondered exactly how this technique was done? You always give us such a clear example of the methods used. This was fantastic! I can immediately see how this can be added to my next quilt project, to add that extra bit of dimension that I have been looking for. 😊❤
Learned Trapunto in the 70s, am now 75. I learned on a much larger scale and enjoyed this video showing me something I hadn’t been exposed to previously. Thank you. Love from US. 💕🇺🇸
@@marionsworld24 Took a lot of classes in what was called adult education which was facilitated thru our public education system. The instructor had large panels, think of a Mallard duck in a pond with cattails, etc. We used batting and muslin and from there would outline parts of the panel we wanted to raise. We cut from the back and stuffed those areas using an orange stick to help get into the tight areas. I saw your technique once at a museum. Some of the most beautiful work I’ve ever seen. After that class I learned macrame from a lady from Germany. Then took basket weaving, toile painting, dry wreath construction, etc. My grandmothers taught me embroidery, knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting, crewel, needlepoint, etc. Love learning how all the beautiful things are created by women. Love watching your channel.
I suppose the machine will be so much quicker. I can see why people found a way to do it by machine. But I just like the traditional way because I love hand stitching so much...
Hello again Marian how exiting you come up with so many great ideas of what to show your FANS and subscribers we are so BLESSED to access your videos THANKYOU SO MUCH sending love and hugs from Eileen in Suffolk ihave been crafting for seventy years and am still loving every minute of it 😂❤❤
Wow Eileen.. 70 years of crafting! That's truly amazing. I hope I'm like that too. I'm reckoning on 60 years so far as I started when I was 5 and I'll be 65 on Saturday. :)
Ooh... I'm happy you would like one. I was just waiting for someone to say they'd like more and I'm ready to make something a little more complicated... Thanks for that!
So funny Maria... I feel like I was a sponge that just took everything in over the years... and now someone has decided to squeeze all the info out again!
Hi Marion,this is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing this technique. I have never made a quilt before but this has inspired me to go ahead and give it a go. You are so clever and talented Marion and a wonderful teacher. I appreciate you. Blessings from down under ❤
Well, that turned out beautifully. Nice technique!!! Your coat looks lovely… coming alone so well !!! Excited to see the embroidery now !!! Thanks Marion !!!
Hi Marion, Trapunto looks so interesting & as always, you have simplified the technique. TFS XXX So happy you'll be spending your birthday with your sister, precious times 🤗🤗 I'm enjoying time with my sister at the moment, hubby is away for 2 days at a retired police reunion,so my sister came to keep me company & we're having a great ( short) time ,but we always make the most of it, op shopping, TWO nights out for dinner a little tipple & lots of laughs 😂🤣😂 She'll head off home (45 mins drive) , but we have one more op shop to scour today before she leaves 😁😁😁 She works full time as a care worker,so we treasure our time we manage to have together 😍😍😍 Catch you soon 😘😘😘 🇦🇺😎😍
I wonder whether you ended up a little tipsy Pauline! Wendy has already said she's taking a bottle of something with her. However I don't hardly drink alcohol at all. Just the occasional port and lemonade!
@marionsworld24 Haha, no, I never get tipsy. I'm 71 & the last time I got tipsy, I was 21 & someone gave me a vodka & orange ( I think it was double vodka )& I was not well !!! I do enjoy a glass of red with ice, I have type 2 diabetes & I googled one day if it was ok to drink wine, & it said red wine can be beneficial !!!! That's probably the wine company putting out that info 😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣Take care xxx 😘😘
Your coat is coming along so beautifully. I love the accent binding on the pocket. It gives it just that touch color that makes it so delightfully you! I love it! 😊 ❤
Great tutorial, it certainly gives an interesting look to embroidery. Really thankful for showing us different techniques, you have a natural talent in your teaching. Look forward to you showing us the thread painting. It always looks beautiful when you see it, but what very little I have done, it never has the finish I was hoping for, so I’ve avoided it. I remember how beautiful your moths looked.
I've just finished filming the first of the thread painting videos. So hopefully you'll try it out. I've tried to cover all the easy ways to get a good outcome.
Oh, I did know about this but totally forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder. When I was in England I found a denim shirt style jacket, your definitely a bad influence on me, but for the better. I’ve not got enough hours in the day for everything I want to do with your influence . Thanks for all the inspiration. X
Stitching ✅ Lines removed✅ Stuffing - waiting for it to dry… I don’t have much yellow thread so my pansy will be purple!❤ Thank you!!! Wednesdays are my favorite day 🧵🪡❤️
It’s 5:15 in the morning and I’m so fascinated by your work and teaching and my wonderful memories. I was gifted a kit decades ago that was a cushion with shades of blue and gold embroidery and scrolls of trapunto. It was good that the instructions were well written and illustrated. It was beautiful and my mom cherished it. I’m so pleased to see trapunto again after so many years. Thank you so much Marion. From Virginia in Canadian Maritimes.
As always it was so nice to spend this time with you and learn something new. Trapunto really is effective. I loved seeing how even your stitches were around your leaves. You really have such a talent. xx
I have been wanting to do this for a while now. You make it look so simple that I think I now have the courage to actually try it! Thanks for the lovely video!
I remember learning 'trapunto' at a craft group in the early '80s. We used printed cushion panels.. I made two & thoroughly enjoyed it! Ended up stretching mine & making wall pictures 😊
Marion, you are a wealth of knowledge and just so wonderful at dispensing your expertise. I keep thinking, well next week will surely get 'same old' but here you are giving us this excellent method of using trapunto. Even down to what a difference the right needle can make. Can't wait to see how you develop the embellishment on your beautiful couture coat. Enjoy a lovely week at cottage with Wendy.
@@marionsworld24 The well will never run dry, Marion. However, don't forget to turn off the taps once in a while for a rejuvenating rest . I worry that we may ware you out.
I have a 16th century-inspired trapunto quilting project in my UFO pile needing the stuffing done. This was perfect! Now I can pull out that project and move ahead with it!
Thank you for taking me back to the early 70s this morning. I was working my way through a huge book of early American needlework at the time. Trapunto was a favorite of mine. So happy to see it again. Your duster is beautiful and i can’t wait to see your embroidery!❤️
Lovely Marion 🎉I have done this method a very long time ago but I'm glad you refreshed my mind again. Your coat is coming along brilliantly 👏 enjoy your break with your sister 😉 ❤
Beautiful work. Back in the 90s, when Victorian was all the rage, I saw an off white silk quilt all done in trapunto in a restoration magazine. They made holes in the back and actually pushed stuffing in then closed the holes with darning stitches. It was gorgeous, but I couldn’t get the hang of it back then. This seems like a much better technique. Thanks for sharing.
Fascinating, and timely for me. Just saw an exhibit here in NYC of Pacita Abad’s art, which incorporates trapunto in her large scale canvases. She was a Filipino artist who was influenced by many cultures, from her homeland as well as other island and African peoples. Some of her large scale canvases took decades to complete, and utilized trapunto, paint, beads, buttons and fabric. She’s finally being recognized in the art world as an artist as opposed to merely a craftsperson. (Not that there’s anything wrong with being a crafter; I am one☺️). Thank you, Marion, for demonstrating the technique; it is beautiful!
This is such a new skill for me. First time I heard of Trapungo. It’s fascinating to watch you create this beautiful project. Thank you for sharing. ❤🌹
I used to do trapunto by inserting shreds of roving through a little hole at the back, then work the fabric to close around the stuffing. It's a very satisfying process, like soft sculpture.
That's excactly it. I purposely didn't make large areas as I think it's an easier start to be just threading wool through the channels. It should be more popular I think...
I have never known of this before and I loved every minute of it!I t looks so interesting and so creative.You are amazing Marion.I didn't like sewing at school you are an inspiration
Oh, love the trapunto stitch! It adds a wonderful depth to the work! I will definitely be trying my hand at it. Happy birthday on the 24th Marion! Have fun with your sister. Cheers from Washington State ☺️
Oh I loved this trapunto video Marion, absolutely fascinating I have never seen it before and would certainly like to try it. Looks so lovely. Have a wonderful time in Scotland (I’m sure you will come back with some inspirational projects for us all) 😊 looking forward to the Sashiko too. Many thanks, xx
Thank you Marion for your video and demonstrating very clearly this beautiful technique. I am so glad you mentioned searching the internet and not finding it for hand work. I tried that some time ago and decided that it must have been lost in time or I was using the wrong terms. Everything was machine. I wanted to frame some white work which has been languishing in a drawer for many a year. Now I just need to find it 😂. Have a wonderful holiday lovely, give Scotland my love and tell it I will be home soon. Take a rest from us unless you want to video some scenery .😁
Thanks Carol. I found it odd that there was nothing there. I feel it's my duty now to make something larger and more involved just so someone else has something to come up in their search..😂
Wonderful guide, beautiful work, and I'm excited to see how your duster come along. You are very skilled and it is a pleasure to watch as you stitch through your projects!
Thank you so much... I have a sleeve in and one whole side finished. I'll be filming the other sleeve and side because of the different seams I'm using.
Absolutely love this technique, at the beginning of my Sewist journey I had seen this and thought how hard this might be! Watching your blogs my opinion has changed and I will be giving it a go. Thank you so much for your very inspirational videos, I really look forward to seeing what your next project will be. X
Thank you, Marion, that was lovely to watch! Only done this technique once before at a workshop, but would love to have another go. The coat is looking great! Xxx
Thank you for sharing this technique. It definitely wasn't on my radar and I'm happy to try it out. It's well suited for various projects I have in mind.
I like your method. When I learned you would cut a small hole and stuff it with pillow stuffing then stitch up the small opening. Your way is much easier. Have you ever heard of the way I’ve done it? I really like this🥰🦋
Yes I also do it that way..but only if I have a larger area to stuff. When you have lines like this it's always been stuffed with a needle and roving. There's a limit to how large the needle method can take you. Then slit and stuff is the way to go! I thought I'd stick to the easier method so that everyone could feel it was possible to accomplish.
@@marionsworld24 thank you Marion. I’m glad you showed the needle method because I think I would be inclined to do it more often. Have a wonderful day🥰🦋
It was nice to see that Technic. My grama use to do it but I never understood how she did. I love your coat and it makes me want to do something for myself. Maybe not a coat, maybe a shirt. LOL Have a great holiday and Early Happy Birthday.
Hello. I have just found you on RU-vid. Ooh, this is lovely and pretty. I've heard of Trapunto, but you have shown me how to do it. Thank you! It will be a lovely technique to apply to lots of different sewing projects. You are a clever lady. I love your needle case. I've recently bought some pale blue felt to make one. I come from a long line of sewers, knitters, etc. My grandfather was a clever crafter and I have some of his beautiful embroidery and tapestry work. I am so lucky. I look forward to watching more of your videos. It sounds from other posts that you have lost a kitty. My heart goes out to you. I have had and still have my lovely cats and they have all been so precious, but when we lose one, it is so hard. Love to you.😊
Thank you and welcome to my channel..😊 I'm glad you've enjoyed this and hope you like looking around at my other videos too. The house has been very quiet without Boo...
Hello from Orange Texas❤️. I love your channel. I have learned a lot. I’m just a beginner and you are a wonderful teacher. Looking forward to more videos. Have a wonderful holiday with your sister❤🙏🏻❤️
Really enjoyed your video ,it brought back memories of school and making a trapunto cushion cover as part of my A level coursework. I found cotton piping cord gave a good result on the borders as it is quite firm and round you only need a single strand but it is more difficult to feed through the fabric channels. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and ideas for using scraps and up cycling thrifted items.❤
