Mitt-A-Long: Make your mitts sparkle
For about 20 years I have worked as a Costume Textile Artist on Feature Films. My job is to print, paint, foil, dye, felt or create fabrics.
Foiling is one of my favourite tricks. It gives a great effect but its fairly quick and easy to do.
Lets look at this fabulous technique and see how we can make our mitts sparkle. Check out the three videos below for the details on how to get set up, apply the adhesive and foil.
The foil and adhesive is available here at handprinted.co.uk
The yarn is West Yorkshire Spinners BFL DK Solids, Sage Green, click this link to buy some.
Click here to go to my pattern page so you can buy the yarn, needles and pattern, if you haven't cast on already!
