Dear Crafty Friends, today I will share a little bit of felt appliqué technique..

I get inspired by Melissa  from littlepinkhouse, she had shared her tuto here

She is very talented person, you will love her wonderful works.

we have another exclusive make over in August project today from Flanel Make Over

 Ok then.. are you ready for our pink birdie?

1. Cut out the remaining pieces. You can pin or trace (with pencil on the wrong side) pieces onto felt and cut out. Using either a pencil or pen, but remember to do it on the wrong side, and carefully clean up the ink. Do the same for the bird's eyes and beak.

2.  Attach your felt pieces to the fabric using a multi-purpose glue or fabric glue. Position the body on the center of the hoop.

3.  whipstitch in the coordinating thread color, according to the finished photo. You can use icon stitch or roll stitch, make sure that you do your stitches small and as even as possible.

4. Use a small, neat running stitch with green thread to attach the wing.

5. give some details with pink thread for the tail.

6. Give some leaf's petal, brown steam stitch and simple running stitch.
