Application of fabric trivially sewn with a needle and 'high-speed' - by 'welding' with polyethylene and iron

So I want to surround myself with beautiful, bright, unusual things, pleasing both the eye and the soul! And we will be able to help with this by using a cloth application, with which you can make a picture - a carpet on a wall, decorate a tablecloth, curtains, clothes, various accessories, or cover up a defect in a simple way - not a fraying spot or hole.

This is especially true for children's clothing, because kids so often spoil panties and dress, rolling with slides or falling into the grass! And in order not to throw out another good-quality, good thing, you can slightly poke over it - and already from under the clever pens will come out an excellent exclusive little thing, even better than it was at the very beginning!

The purchased appliqué from the fabric is usually attached to the clothes with the help of hot ironing. It does not require sewing with a needle and thread. But if you suddenly want to make an application to your liking, then it's not so difficult to do it. For example, a favorite T-shirt with a very original picture was already old. Just throwing it away does not lift the hand. So let's make another T-shirt with your favorite picture on your chest, using the technique of making appliqués from the fabric with your own hands using a needle and thread.

First you need to carefully cut out the picture from the old thing, stepping back from the contour line drawing 1-2mm. Now you need to apply the application to the chosen place on the new clothes and fix it with a seam "on the living" along the edge of the picture, having retreated 2 cm.

Next, you should choose a natural silk thread that will not molt when washing. She also needs to sew the edges of the applique with a sewing or a seam "over the edge", a tambour or a rope, applying each successive stitch close to the previous one.

In the same way, the appliqué is made of fabric on a carpet or coverlet, curtains or towels. Even it is not necessary to use ready-made images on the material for decoration, but you can make the right picture from pieces of different colors, sewing them on the main fabric.

It is worth saying that this method is rather laborious and painstaking. However, there is a second, faster way, when the appliqué from the fabric is attached to the base material with polyethylene and a hot iron. In the same way, the applique is made from tissue for children. It can be decorated like a child's clothing, and perform in this technique a bed-mat or curtains with cartoon characters. It will stand up to Mom much cheaper than simply buying things in the store. Yes, and made their own handicrafts are original and exclusive, than can not boast the factory thread.

When working with an iron is best to use the one that has a thermostat. The drawing for the application is applied to the fabric in case you do not use the already finished picture on the fabric. To the wrong side of the future application is applied polyethylene. They can serve a new cut sack for products - the main condition is the fact that the polyethylene must be clean, without grease and dirt.

Under polyethylene, you need to lay a newspaper and begin to iron this "sandwich" with a hot iron on the outside of the application, so that the newspaper is at the bottom. It is important not to overheat the workpiece, so that the newspaper does not stick to the polyethylene. But the material with a pattern should be well welded to polyethylene.

When cutting out the pattern selected for the application, the contour edges should not snake. Cut should be without allowances, directly along the contour line. Then cut the cut piece onto the desired place of the base fabric with polyethylene down and again begin to iron with a hot iron until the appliqué is firmly held in place and the edges of the contour of the applique do not tighten against the item being decorated or manufactured.

Having tried only once to work in this technique, it is simply impossible to stop. Literally a week later, beautiful original sofa cushions, napkins and rugs with various applications will appear in the home of the needlewoman with imagination, which will transform not only the appearance of the dwelling, but also the entire life of its inhabitants. Do not believe me? But try it yourself!
