you are so very wecome

thankyou! I'm so gald you enjoyed seeing the work.

yes you need to use special paints made for use on textiles. This means they leave the cloth still soft, not stiffened like other paint would, and are washable. Its not hard to find textile paints, most fabric or craft supply shops would have them. There is also a special medium that can be mixed with ordinary acrylic paints that makes them suitable to use as textile paint. However I don't know how well that works because I always use textile paint.

@@pearlredmoonartist6430 ok thanks for your explanation 🥰

Hi Jillian, thanks for sharing your delight in finding my channel, its wonderful to know you've found inspiration here. Regrettably I don't put many videos up anymore. The free editing program I was using went out of date and I'm not tech savvy enough to go searching for something else that would do the task. Enjoy!

@@pearlredmoonartist6430 Hi Pearl, thanks for your response. I imagine you prefer to make rather than post videos and all that must take. I’m on social media however prefer to stitch and make and am a tad tawdry at updating it. Happy stitching 🧵

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for taking a moment to say hello 👋

thankyou!

thankyou, thats so flattering! Everyrhing is for sale! The coat is Aus$450 plus postage. If you want to follow up so I can give some more detailed photos and measurements feel free to contact me privately by email - pearl@upstairs-art.com.au

Bettie, you are welcome to call in anytime you pass by. I still open up on request as I have a number of people who regularly buy my work or just like to pop in for a gossip, coffee and to see what I'm doing lately. I live just a few hundred metres from the studio. There is a phone number in the shop window or here it is now for you to write down for posterity - 0431566021.

I was delighted, it worked fabulously well!

Thank you, I've been a huge fan of the Japanese aesthetic and their textile arts all my life so I take that as a great compliment. This coat is a bit reminiscent of Boro patching and there are some decorative running stitch features on the back that were a nod toward sashiko. (though one of biggest haters is Japanese sashiko artist Atsushi Futatsuya who described me as a "privileged racist white woman" and blocked me from following his Instagram, Patreon and YT channels...)

Hi Miriam, the coat is unlined. I didn't want to line it as many of the fabrics used were sheer and I wanted a light and cool Summer coat as I'm in Australia. The inside of the coat is very neat with no seams inside. The technique is to seam the patches right sides together with narrow 5mm seams, then press them open. Then a narrow strip of fabric (about 15mm) is laid on top of the seam and sewed down on either side, so that the pressed open seam allowances are covered. The raw edges of the overlaid strips can be finished in a variety of ways - they could be turned under (in this case a wider strip would need to be cut to allow for the turn under, say 25mm wide to allow for hems of 5mm) and sewed down close to the hem fold. On this cream one I used a zigzag stich to sew each side of the strip down and that became a decorative element too. On another coat I'm making at the moment I've overlocked the raw edges and are sew them down with the overlocking showing.

@@pearlredmoonartist6430 Thank you for such a complete reply. You described it so well. I'm going to try it with grosgrain ribbon or self-made bias tape as I don't like raw edges. Have you ever thought of writing a book about all your techniques?

@@MsSparky321 grosgrain ribbon is a fabulous idea, it will work beautifully, plus save lots of time not having to prepare or process the raw edges. You reminded me that I used cotton tape doing this technique a few years back on garments I'd forgotten about. I self published a softcover book showing 30 coats I had in an exhibition in 2020, www.etsy.com/au/listing/798226909/thirty-coats-softcover-book?click_key=0434949ca09bb8af829b065b3a8881287fe5395e%3A798226909&click_sum=01d000c9&ref=shop_home_active_11&frs=1 I have thought about writing a book on textile techniques😊....but I'm so BUSY MAKING its impossible to find the time!😘 I'm finishing a new coat today so watch out for the video tour coming up soon.

You're very welcome!

thank you

You're welcome Bettie, so glad you enjoyed it. I'll probably put off making the coat until the cooler weather next year. I'm thinking of making a dress next.

Hi Christine, thanks for looking in and liking my current project. I have actually intended to make technique instruction videos a dozen times over the last 4-5 months but can no longer access the free editing video app I used to use (its gone behing a paywall, drat!) since then I've been struggling to find something I can understand. Thats why I've been limited to upoloading only videos taken on phone camera 🥲

Hi there...I do still have that bracelet. Email me pearl@upstairs-art.com.au for more information. Thanks for your interest❤

Fantastic, thank you! @@pearlredmoonartist6430

thank you Dawn

thank you for your kind support. It has been devastating to me as having been publicly slurred as transphobic has effectively ended my career in Australia as an artist. My next exhibition opening July 8th in Sydney will probably be my last as no other gallery or event will risk having me.

@@pearlredmoonartist6430 it's "interesting" (although I'm not sure that's the right word) how in the past art has been about making a statement, challenging ideas, to get discussion happening etc but now people are being shut down for having certain beliefs

@@yarnaboutyarn it is "interesting" and having looked into it quite a bit the trend is very alarming. In December last year, I wrote several blogs about having been expelled as a paying member of the international organisation "The Surface Design Association". The SDA said I couldn't be active in their organisation because of 'incompatible values". I suggested that through their action to exclude people holding certain types of beliefs from inclusion in the arts community they weren't fulfilling their core mission which is to nurture and empower artists. Just as the nazis and fascists came for the avant garde first, people with dissenting visions must be censored in rising authoritarian regimes.

@@pearlredmoonartist6430 thanks, I'll take a look

amazingly, to date she has never hurt herself. She wields them around like a sword fighter and will happily poke me with them. They all end up being dropped on the floor eventually so I'm in the habit of checking the carpet after shes been in the room. We can shut her and Rozita out of our living rooms in the adjoining conservatory room for a bit of peace. So far no injuries have been sustained...to parrots or humans!

thank you Christine 💜🤍💚

@@pearlredmoonartist6430 thank you

Hi Christine, thanks for your interest. Not sure where you live, but I'm in Australia. My exhibition is at a gallery in my little hometown of Murrurundi opening on Saturday April 1st. It is at the Old Tattersalls Hotel, corner of Haydon and Adelaide Streets. It'll be open Friday, Saturday and Sundays 10.30am to 4pm. It would be lovely if you were able to call in. My second exhibition later this year will be at Balmain Space, Balmain in Sydney. That will open for 3 weeks in July 2023.

@@pearlredmoonartist6430 I'm on the far north coast of NSW.

@@yarnaboutyarn well thats great! Come on over to Murrurundi on one of those weekends! Its an arty and charming little village and you could have a lovely weekend away❤

Hi Neena, the magenta lines are made by close zigzag stitching over a thick magenta coloured yarn. A really easy technique that makes great linear makings.
