Landscape Portal Tutorial

$15.00

Make your own Landscape Portal!

Wait, what is a Landscape Portal?

A Landscape Portal is like a landscape painting made out of fabric. It is made with various colors of fabric sewn together in curved colorblocking.

Once constructed, the Landscape Portal can then be sewn to the back of a jacket or shirt, onto a tote bag, or made into a wall hanging to have your own piece of Fiber Art! A soft reminder of a place you call home, the land you love, a sense of groundedness, and the interconnection of all things.

This tutorial includes:

  • 3 Landscape Portal patterns

  • a PDF of written instructions for making your own Landscape Portal pattern, sewing the curved colorblocking, and attaching the Portal to another piece of fabric

  • a video showing the steps for sewing the Landscape together and attaching the Portal to another piece of fabric

This is a digital product, available to download immediately after purchase. The instructions include instructions for how to print the Landscape Portal patterns either at home or at a copyshop :)

  • Sewing curved lines can be tricky!

    I recommend anyone who wants to, to try this tutorial out but be patient with yourself and know that it may take a few tries :)

    It may be good to practice a bit before you cut into your nice/favorite fabric.

  • This project is great for using up scraps of woven, non-stretch fabric. It works best to use fabric that is similar in weight, texture and fiber content. I recommend using light to mid-weight fabrics as heavier weight or thicker weaves may be challenging. 

    You can sew your Landscape Portal onto the back of a shirt or jacket, onto a bag, or use it to make a wall hanging by adding a backing (maybe some batting) and binding the edges. I encourage you to have fun with it and explore all of the possibilities! If you are going to attach your Landscape Portal onto a garment, make sure that all of your fabric is pre-washed and shrunk.
