A new hand-stitched piece I'm working on. This one is regular applique, with individual pieces stitched to the surface (rather than reverse applique, with parts cut away, which is what I often do).
The above photos are the back of a long sleeve shirt; the front has a keyhole opening at the neckline:
I learned early that when you're sewing with 100% cotton jersey, it's best to start out on the snug side. Even washing & drying by machine doesn't do much for the recovery of the knit. Wish I had figured that out before I made the skirt!
I love this so much- for some reason I am tempted to try this with papers.
