After my dear friend :iconaigue-marine: (and a lot of other people before) asked me, how I make my appliques, I thought: hey, you work at a costume with this appliques again. I can make a tutorial!

And here you see step by step how I make on a easy way all my appliques.

.
.
.

What do you need:
- paper, pencil and scissors (maybe a rubber)
- fabric and thread
- Interfacing /Interfacing double-sided and a iron
- sewing mashine/ needle

How to work step by step:

STEP 1



Sew or compose your costume, as you need it.
If you know where the pattern to be sewn on it: take the fabric or the pattern for step 3 as a template

STEP 2



Take (old) paper, a sketch of the costume as an overview and pens for drawing

STEP 3



Copy the fabric or the pattern on the paper.
Then draw the desired pattern as a template onto the paper.

STEP 4



Cut and sort everything ^. ~

STEP 5



Reinforce your fabric with interfacing. It must not go off!

STEP 6



Draw with the template your pattern on the fabric and cut them roughly (!).

STEP 7



Set your machine to a zigzag. This can be nearly look like this.
Sew all the lines along the fabric. This can sometimes take a little longer. So be patient.

STEP 8



The pattern looks like this, once you've sewed it. Sometimes you have to iron it then.

STEP 9



Cut it out carefully. In this case you may not cut the seam, otherwise everything goes on.

STEP 10



Cut all the threads.

STEP 11



Place the pattern on the costume / the fabric. You can clue it or get pin up.
In double-sided interfacing just put it ironed, then it will not slip.
Sew a second time with the zigzag along the pattern.

STEP 12



TADAAAAAA your applique is done!

I hope you like it. If you have any questions, you can contakting me here or per note. ^.~

Hi, I'm here to ask for some help, please...
I've tried to do the zig-zag several time in my sewing machine but the pattern doesn't seem so full, so complete... Do you understand what I'm saying? Could you please help me if you can? Thank you so much for your attention! ^_^
