Two-Hour Applique: Over 200 Original Designs

By Leslie Allen

Book Overview

Add dimension to your crafts--and complete a range of wonderful applique projects in just two hours. Start with the basic techniques, such as making and transferring patterns, and cutting out motifs. Choose from reverse, turned-edge, shadow, and padded applique. Then go through an assortment of traditional design ideas--birdhouses, snowmen, watermelon, animals, stars, and more. Frame them, stitch them onto decorative hand towels, use them to adorn sweatshirts, make terrific totes, and even hang them on a Christmas tree. Broaden your horizons with dimensional ribbon, painted, and mixed media applique, and experiment with non-fabric backgrounds. There's no end to what you can do! 128 pages, 8 1/2 x 11.

two hour applique

This book goes beyond traditional applique. The projects are shown in great full color photos. Lots and lots of project ideas. The how-to was quite helpful--I really liked the section on making ribbon flowers! Really neat book!
