I was going to make a dress for Vivian and I still plan on doing it this week, but I wanted to try an appliqué. The Slice I recently purchased will also cut fabric. Vivian has been asking for a butterfly shirt. The appliqué design card has a few butterfly patterns. I decided I would try an appliqué. How hard could it be? We picked a shirt and then I picked some coordinating fabric from my ever growing fabric stash. I really need to stop buying fabric and fat quarters until I use what I have.
Cutting the fabric was a lot easier than I thought it would be. First I had to put fusible web on the fabric. Then I cut a shadow of a butterfly and then the butterfly. Once that was done I ironed it onto the fabric and then did a blanket stitch around both pieces. Much easier than I thought it would be. Very happy with my first appliqué.
How long did it take you to figure all this stuff out!? I'm jealous-I haven't even learned how to get thread into my machine, HAHA. Guess that's what happens when all 3 are at home 24/7...
