Using the Poppy
Flower Appliqué, you can make this remarkable, stylish T-shirt
in just a few easy steps.
For this project, you will need a T-shirt, green fabric for leaves,
another fabric for the flower (we used red) and a scrap of organza for
the center of the flower. |
|
| Step One: With the help of a template, find choose where you
want the design to go on the T-shirt. |
|
| Step Two: Hoop the T-shirt with cut-away mesh stabilizer.
Thread the needle with green thread. Start embroidering. The machine will
embroider an outline of the leaves and stop. Place a piece of green fabric
over the outline, and start the machine. It will embroider the outline
and the veins of the leaves and stop. |
|
| With a pair of sharp scissors cut away the excess fabric as close to
the outline as possible. Return the hoop to the machine and finish the
embroidery of the leaves. |
|
| Step Three: Change to red thread. Cover the central part of
the embroidery with a piece of red fabric. Return the hoop into the machine.
The machine will make an outline of the flower and stop. |
|
Cut away the excess fabric as close to the outline as possible.
Return the hoop into the machine and start embroidering. The machine
will embroider the flower. |
|
| Step Four: Thread the needle with a black thread. Place a scrap
of organza (or any sheer fabric that frays easily) in the center of the
flower. Return the hoop to the machine. |
|
| The machine will embroider the center of the flower. Unravel the edges
of the organza. |
|
|
Your new stylish t-shirt is ready. Enjoy!
