Texture with tissue



Machine gathering is very effective. I set straight stitch to its longest setting and gently stitched rows about 1cm apart along a long length of tissue. I pulled the threads gently and knotted the thread to secure the ends.


The 'balls' are squares of tissue, gathered and stuffed with tissue offcuts.
