Fabric scraps...one of my biggest dilemmas. I hate wasting fabrics, so I literally keep bags full of scraps. If you're a a sewer or a crafter that deals with fabrics, its likely you have a bundle of scraps as well.
If you're into customizing your jackets, sweaters, pants, bags, and other items, you can easily turn these scraps into cute and custom appliques!
What You'll Need:
Fabric
Doublestick fusible web for fabric
An iron
A pencil or pen
Scissors
The item of clothing you want to apply the applique to
Get a sheet of the fusible web and draw the design you want on your applique.
First pick the fabric you plan to use for the applique. On the wrong side of the fabric iron on the fusible webbing. Cut out the design you drew. Peel the nonstick coating from the applique and put it on the right side of the clothing item you're adding it to. Iron it on.
In order to ensure that it stays on the clothes, you'll need to sew or stitch the edges. Make a decorative stitch to add some flair to your applique.
Look forward to more ideas for fabric scraps in the future.
