3-Hour Workshop
12 pm - 3 pm EST, Wednesday, January 22
In this workshop, choose a diamond or circular design to create your own butterfly garden. There are no small appliques to stitch down. Instead, groups of flowers, butterflies and other motifs are cut from a printed fabric. Using the motif outline as a guide, the motifs are sewn onto a background using a simple hand stitch. This is the perfect workshop to introduce you to the Broderie Perse applique technique. All Hand Sewing.
All Levels
BEFORE CLASS - Cut out a 13 ½” square for your background fabric.
SUPPLY LIST
FABRIC- ½ yard of 100% cotton fabric for motifs and a 13 ½” square for background.
The size of the block will be 12 ½” when it is squared up. The 13 ½” block allows for shrinkage when hand sewing.
Choose a favorite floral pattern. It can be printed with individual and/or groups of flowers. The flowers should be between 1 ½” to 3” in diameter. Several different fabrics can be used. In the sample blocks I used a floral print and another piece of butterfly fabric. The flowers are about 2 ½” in diameter.
Strive to have your background close in color to the background of your motif fabric. However, if that is not possible, the motif background with create another dimension to your design.
NEEDLE- Sharp or Milliner size 10 to 12. My favorite is size 11. If you have an applique needle that you prefer that is fine.
THREAD-Cotton or cotton covered polyester to blend with your motifs and/or background. Size 50 or 60 is good. Aurifil has a size 80 especially for applique.
OTHER SUPPLIES-applique pins, washable fabric glue stick (Elmer’s) or glue (like Roxanne), toothpick, fabric marker, thimble (if you use one), small ruler, good lighting, a light box (optional) an iron and ironing board standing by, and any other supplies that will make you happy.
