After making the
little wristlet with the dots appliquéd on top I decided to make a pillow
inspired by it.
First I took pieces
of silk charmeuse scrap that I had dyed awhile ago and put a fusible adhesive
backing on them. For pillows and things
I want more pliable I like to use Heat n' Bond Lite. Then I cut circles ranging in different sizes
and placed them strategically on my base fabric.
After I figured out
where I wanted them I ironed the circles down to the fabric so they would stay
in place.
Since this was a
pillow I stabilized it with some cotton muslin so I wouldn't have to tear it
off like interfacing afterward. Then I
began free motion embroidering swirls and stars on each circle.
After completing
the front I made it into a fully finished pillow with a purple back that closed
with a zipper. It's for sale in my shop
now, so please check it out to see other views.
Cheers,
Kyle
