Sew Many Projects

acrylic on canvas with fabric scraps, thread, needles, and pins

8″ x 8″

2023

Sew Many Projects was created using “left over” fabric scraps and other sewing supplies that have accumulated over many years. Some of the unique items it includes are an embroidered piece of lace from my 1970’s wedding dress, buttons from my grandmother’s button box and a snap (can you even buy snaps anymore?). This piece is a reminder of the things we hold on to because we expect them to be useful some day.
