Applique Inspiration

One of my fav things to do is create appliqued tee's for little one's. Wanted to share with you some of my favorite one's to date (Designed by myself & Erin Hannon). Appliques are very simple - come up with a design, find some great fabric (100% cotton works best), iron fabric to ultrabond lite, cut out design, iron on to garment and stich around for effect! The possibilities are vast when creating appliques - they're really great for fixing a stained shirt or pair of pants!

    How do you stop the applique from fraying? I have new grandchildren & would love to make some of these.

    Honestly, I don't mind the fraying; in fact, I prefer it! The more washes the more fraying! However if you prefer no fraying then I recommend using much tighter and longer stiches around the appliques. You can also use the liquid stich that prevents fraying.

    Hope this helps!
