Today I took part in a workshop called Applique. I have never heard of Applique before never mind had experience in makeing it. Although once Applique was explained to me it wasn't that hard to manufacture.
Applique is a technique used in many aspects of design, textiles, fashion ect..
It consists of cutting out a design in different types or colours of material and then place a piece of material that somewhat acts like double sided sticky tape (Can't remember the name of it) And then iron on the patterns in the right sequence and you have your pattern.
I found ironing on the sticky material to have a slight problem as I had ironed the wrong side but I quickly ammended this problem by taking off the sticky side before it had set.
After sticking down all the fabric we used a sewing machine to go around each side of the material.
This gave off a really good effect. I found this technique simple to achieve and learn. I feel that this technique is very effective and I will consider using it on my final accessory. This is my applique sample. I took the design from an observational drawing I had done.
