You can really tell much by the picture but I think you can click on it and get a better idea of the colors used. The fabric is teal and aqua with the stencil done in a grey. Starting in the upper right hand corner the thread colors played with are: the two petals diagonal from the right hand corner are navy, the two leaves below and to the right are done in a charcoal grey, the next petal to the left is outlined in light grey, the next petal is outlined in black, the large leaf/petal on the left in outlined in light grey, the next petal/leave diagonal from the left corner is outlined in lack with the final petal in the middle top outlined in black.
I am leaning toward the black or the navy for the outlining. What do you think?
I haven't gotten my stencil ready to stencil the skirt panels yet. I still have to work out the whole transfer bit to the felt. I had the local printer print the stencil for me but I don't really want to cut it as I may want to use it again.
I definitely need to invest in a smaller pair of scissors. I used my regular shears to snip out the appliques and it was not easy. It would also probably be a bit neater with smaller blades.
This sample is for the Craftsy The Swing Skirt: Techniques & Construction class.
Have you tried this style of construction?
Happy Stitching!
