Poppy Treffry — Freehand stitching and sewn accessories
Poppy Treffry
Why we picked it
Poppy Treffry’s work is useful for exploring expressive line and product-focused textile design.
Put it into practice
Choose an everyday object and draw a loose outline in your own style. Consider how that line might fit a small sewn accessory.
Keep a useful record
Keep a small sample beside your notes. Record the fabric, thread, colors and order of work so you can repeat the parts you like. Photograph the piece close up and from normal viewing distance. This resource concerns hand embroidery or textile art; translating the appearance into a computerized machine design requires separate digitizing decisions.
