It must be remembered that appliqué and patchwork or patchwork technique are different types needlework. If just a bright background is created from the flaps, then the application implies the presence of a plot.

Animals for young children

Funny animals can become the first applications. For their creation, it is advisable to choose those schemes where you do not need to additionally sheathe the fabric, as well as with large and simple details. When working on a picture, you need to make sure that the child glues all the layers in the correct order.

Flowers, plants and landscapes - the complication of technology

It is important to follow the wrong side - it should also be beautiful.

reverse circuit

Sometimes the workpiece is sewn onto the product along the contour from the inside. In this case, the picture is drawn on the fabric with a marker or pen and cut out with large allowances along the edges. The most difficult part is to stitch the image clearly along the drawn line - the contour of the part. Next, the product is turned inside out - there is only a neat line on it - the outline of the picture. Now you need to take scissors and carefully cut out the picture, retreating from the seam by 3-6 mm, depending on the fabric and size of the illustration. Now the contrast fabric will be visible and the image will show.

complex pictures

At an older age, children themselves can try to create an unusual picture. Most often, these are decorations for gifts, for example, pillows. To create a neat application, it is necessary to leave small allowances when cutting out parts. After they are bent and can be fixed with adhesive nets, ironed and straightened with an iron. So any detail will not crumble and the edges will become neat.

For each part, you need to bend the edges and iron them. Then we attach the blanks with the wrong side to the pillowcase, secure with a pin or light stitches.

You will need:

• Fabric (it is recommended to take a thin material, because a dense material will look sloppy);
• Scissors;
• Needle;
• Threads;
• Base fabric;
• Beads or buttons (for the core).

Let's get to work:

1. To begin with, you need to cut long narrow stripes from the fabric.
2. We sew one of these strips by the edge to the main fabric, this will be the middle of the flower.
3. Now let's proceed to the most important thing - the formation of the bud itself. We take the sewn strip in our hands and twist it around its axis, while wrapping it in a circle. If you want to make the flower more magnificent, you can add more stripes by sewing them on with inconspicuous stitches.
4. We hide the ends of the patches under each other. The middle of the flower can be decorated with a bead or a neat button.

Here are some cute flowers we got:

• Now we take a few petals and sew them to the main fabric by the inner edges. Pull off the fabric, otherwise it will puff up, and this will greatly spoil the look of your product.
• Now we give the shape to the flowers, sew the remaining petals to the base, creating a bud the way you want.
• At the end of the work, we make the core of the flower from a bead or button.

Thus, you can create a picture, decorate the interior, curtains, a niche in the photo shows an option for decorating a T-shirt with such flowers, it turned out very interesting.

Now tighten the thread and fasten. You should get something like a bag, see how it should look in the picture below.

Now, without cutting the thread, we thread the needle into the button and sew it to the “bag”. Fasten the button securely.

We do not cut the thread with the needle again, it should be on the back of the flower. We sew it to the pillowcase in the place that you have chosen for it. We make the rest of the flowers in the same way.
