Hey, hey it's Friday! Aren't you glad the weekend's here?
I've been sewing like a mad woman thanks to this fabulous book
Among the many things in the book, applique' is one thing I'd like to learn.
It most likely originated as a means to patch holes in clothing,
but is now used for decorative purposes for bed linens...
and drapery...
clothing...
and pillows!
These projects are a little too ambitious for me,
so allow me to practice first.
I found an old shirt.
Then I cut out a starfish shape from
another old shirt.
{Can you tell that summer's on my mind right now?}
Position & pin the starfish.
Stitch in place, folding the fabric inside as you sew,
for a clean edge.
TADA! -- my first attempt at applique!
I know, it could be much neater.
Hope you like my sweet summer silly starfish shirt!
Now go and have yourselves a fun weekend.
It ´s a lovely and funny idea!
