This
is a fast way to create an otherwise detailed appliqué. I wanted
the Noshi to look as if it was made from individual pieces of red and
black printed silk noil.
STEP
1
I stamped randomly on the red silk noil in approximately the area where
the Noshi would be cut. (I used the kanji stamps but anything would
work here).
STEP
2
Then I used the freezer paper pattern to cut out the appliqué.
At this time I marked all the internal detail lines, by gently lifting
the freezer paper and inserting tracing paper underneath.
STEP
3
After fusing the noshi to the back of the jacket it was satin stitched
around all the edges including the detail lines.
By using this method I drastically cut my time to create an effective
appliqué, while giving it dimension a solid color just wouldn't
have!
