Draw your Home: Collage, Stitch and Fabric Crayons
Inspired by the AccessArt participatory project, the AccessArt Village, fabric rubbings and simple stitching are used to make a colourful collage of a home.
Fabric crayons are an easy way to apply colour to material and if you use stiff fabric like Vilene with its white, fairly smooth surface, it’s like drawing on very soft paper. Vilene is usually used in sewing as a support for other fabrics, it isn’t woven but has a composite surface similar to commercial felt.

Hi Leanne, we’re not sure of the exact source, but Vilene is widely available in haberdasheries both online and in store. I hope this helps! Thanks, Rachel
