Overview
Add dimension to your crafts--and complete a range of wonderful applique projects in just two hours. Start with the basic techniques, such as making and transferring patterns, and cutting out motifs. Choose from reverse, turned-edge, shadow, and padded applique. Then go through an assortment of traditional design ideas--birdhouses, snowmen, watermelon, animals, stars, and more. Frame them, stitch them onto decorative hand towels, use them to adorn sweatshirts, make terrific totes, and even hang them on a Christmas tree. Broaden your horizons with dimensional ribbon, painted, and mixed media applique, and experiment with non-fabric backgrounds.
