Tula Pink – Patchwork skjørt

Tula Pink-feber

Man sier at man ikke skal møte sine idoler – men alle regler har et unntak…

Jeg har gledet meg hele sommeren til Quilt Camp Norway som arrangeres av Kathrines Quiltestue for ingen ringere enn Tula Pink skulle komme å holde kurs og foredrag.

Jeg kjøpte noen av hennes stoffer i våres fast bestemt på å sy en kjole av det. Opprinnelig tenkte jeg at det skulle være en 50-talls inspirert kjole der stoffene kunne komme til sin rett.

Jeg er litt usikker på hvorfor jeg istedet valgte å skjære de opp i småbiter istedet og sy de sammen på overlocken…

Utgangspunktet for antrekket var at jeg hadde tre skjorter liggenede som var kjøpt på salg siste sommer – på tide å bruke de opp og det sort/hvite matchet godt Tula’s fargesprakende stoffer.

Her er en video om hvordan du syr patchwork på overlocken

Dette innlegget handler om hvordan jeg sydde quilttoppene på overlocken – det kommer senere blogginnlegg på detaljene som lommer, linning og stolpe.

Her er blogginnlegg om linning og stolpe – Tula Pink Patchwork Skjørt – linning og stolpe

Håper du er blitt inspirert!

Her er den engelske introduksjon av henne på Quilt Camp Norway’s hjemmeside om du har lyst til å vite mer om hennes bakgrunn – 


“Tula Pink is an illustrator, a fabric designer, a quilter, an author, a maker and a generally good person who enjoys talking about herself.

Tula graduated from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, CA. It was fun but she was tired of being broke so she decided to get a job. Tula worked briefly as an Exhibit designer for Museums in Southern California, where she grew up, and when that became too quiet she relocated to the music industry. After about 5 years of that her ears began to bleed so she left her job and California and went in search of a new home. The plan was to move as far east as she could get without renting a boat and work her way back west until she found a place she liked. Tula got about half way and then she ran out of gas money so she stayed put.

Tula now lives in a small mid-western town outside of Kansas City, MO in a house that used to be a barn and still sort of looks like one. Tula’s main function in life is fabric design. She lives for it. Her signature designs have been adapted to fabrics, woven ribbons, paper products, needlepoint kits, embroidery patterns and sewing machines and can be found in independent fabric shops and retailers all over the world. Tula is most recognized in her industries for her dark sense of humor, a flair for hiding animals in the strangest of places (artistically, not literally) and her boldly unique use of color and pattern. Tula comes from the “more is more” school of design where there is never enough space and always room for that one last thing.”
