I am thrilled to be contributing to the new Craft Hub blog , where each calendar month I will be sharing simple stitchery tips and task .
Before I share my project I want to tell you a few things about myself . I ’m a in series sewist , episodic pattern designer , overlord nurseryman and traditional - foods partizan . I share my passions at my blog , The Seasoned Homemaker , where I notice on all things delightfully domesticated . You will find lots ofsewing tutorials , garden ideasandmy favorite recipes(which all happen to be gluten - detached ) . And , we ’ve late downsized to a young home so I will be share about how we ’re cut our lifestyle . I go for you ’ll halt by to chitchat !
Of all my cacoethes , sewing is the one I love the most , especially appliqué . Appliqué is passing easy and does n’t require any especial equipment . You really do n’t necessitate a sewing motorcar , but have one is an asset .
Because Thanksgiving is just around the street corner , I ’ve create a simple and inexpensive Appliquéd Thanksgiving Table Runner project that anyone can make .
Here ’s what you ask :
Step 1
Cut a 14- by 65 - in musical composition of burlap . Serge or hem all raw edges of the burlap .
footstep 2
Print outleaf templatesand cut out shapes . describe the leaf shapes onto the waxy backing of fusible web product . rocky - cut around each conformation . The amount of leaves you use is up to you , but I recommend at least three of each physique .
Step 3
Place cut - out shapes onto back side of fall - colored framework fusible web side down and waxy paper side up . With a hot , dry smoothing iron fuse the production to the back of the fabric .
whole step 4
Carefully cut out each folio shape . ( I like to do this when I ’m hold back in the machine or watch over TV . )
Step 5
Randomly place result onto burlap until you are happy with the layout , then peel the waxy backing off the fusible web . I like to pin the leaves before I press them down .
Step 6
military press leaves in place with a red-hot , wry iron . apply a iron out cloth to protect the burlap and your iron .
Optional whole tone
consecutive - stitch around the edges of each leaf using a counterpoint thread .
Also , burlap sheds a peck . You will desire to sweep out your stitching machine ( and yourself ! ) afterwards .
This turned out to be an easy and fun task that I go for you will enjoy it , too .
