From the series other life T-shirts. Applique: Direct and Reverse

Applique: Direct and Reverse

From the series Other Life T-shirts - the author of the reverse applique of Natalie Chanin came up with her, reworking old T-shirts. Now these incredible beauty of handmade masters from Alabama are going under a vulture of the Alabama project, sold on Etsy.com at very expensive prices and are repeated by many needlewomen.

Oh, what kind of beauty, these T-shirts!

Do not throw out old T-shirts, but we love them for something new and we. Of course, the man-made masterpiece is not easy to create, but if they do others, then why not try us? By the way, there will be many stitches from those that I have shown in large quantities before.

All things collection, mostly two-layer and knitted

This, now a big and successful project, started once with an old T-shirt cut into parts that stitched again. Using only hands, needles, threads, sharp scissors and several stencils. Technique changes little over time. True stencils invented special, they are also sold. But we, I think somehow come out of this situation.

Well, and I believe, you know about the pastry and reverse appliqué. And see differences. Straight - seals from above, reverse - with inside.

Here for this T-shirt stencil is not so complicated, you can try and repeat. Although with thin jumpers will have to tinker so that it is accurate enough. But the most inspiring is that the manual line should and be manual, and not fake under the machine.

This picture shows a knitted and sewing layers. And the pattern is simple, practically for beginners (I think so). And even the nodules are visible: they marked the point to which the stencil of the sheet was applied.

I think this is a photo to make a textbook for yourself

Hard work. But impressive. The reverse applique is complicated by the volumetric applique of petals. They are nurts on top of hand, during sewing the motifs were scared. That is, the petals with allowances were cut.

An example is simple for execution, actually because he paid attention to it. Moreover, the usual T-shirt is a simplified version of Alabama. The second layer is late only under the pattern. And this is a good way to try your hand.

The photo below is the whole variety of techniques that are used today: stitches, appliques, embroidery with ribbons, grid, hundreds of tiny folds, different seams and French knots. Head spin!

The most modest example that I met is enough for me to have enough strength. Simple, of course, very. And even colored flap is used, but there is an embroidered word. Removal of the famous brand

Another simple idea, but cute))) You can make on the pillowcase

Those who have excellent visitation and communications with a sewing machine can also decide on this example. For me it is so easier for my hands - my machine knitwear pulls.

A bag. Master class from Molli Sketchbook. I propose on a bag and try. If it is not possible to walk in people, then the house is still useful. And in fact - a beautiful thing. And there is something in the process of = what details that open your eyes on the process.

True, you need a stencil. Two knitting layers (two shirts): blue and white with stencil. Threads Moulin in 3 additions, needle.

I here, I think that you can transfer any pattern on white tissue, which will find the stencil. From the knitwear, rectangular details are cut - two sides for a bag. The fabric is stroked. Both fabric are combined and chained with needles (so as not to be blocked the pattern). Now we make stitches on the stencil, piercing both fabrics.

Here the stencil is special, our shine will not. So what? Although you need to flash on the lines! I stitched all the stitches, I remind, threads Moulin (from 3 to 6 addictions - as we like it). All stitches pattern. We take sharp scissors and cut the middle, we cut small details (and they are not all, and why complicate yourself). Cut out, leaving the allowance - see the picture - so that the seams do not speak. Power letters later by turning

The reverse side will be like this: nothing terrible, it closes the lining. We are doing a bag now.

It turns out this glorious picture

Further maternity bags as such. That is, we cut the lining, also from T-shirt (!), Sevive pocket. Cut the side part, handles. We collect-sew. everything.
