I am so excited about learning how to sew appliques. I have now done several t-shirts. Here are a couple that I have created. My latest is a Christmas t-shirt for my little girl. I can't wait to try it on her when she wakes up from her nap!
This first one is a cross with two different fabrics. The bottom one is obviously a tad bit larger. I did not use the iron on paper for this because I really wanted the fabric to be able to fray. I sewed an outline around the two pieces at the same time. I think the more I wash/dry this shirt, the more it will have the rugged, frayed look that I want.
For the Christmas applique, I did use Heat N Bond. I also used a straight stitch on this applique. I printed my M from Pages (Mac software-equivalent to Word.) Remember to print your letters/images in reverse. I free handed the Christmas tree. You might recognize the fabric from my Christmas apron.
