Luck 'O the Irish - Applique Tutorial and Template


I'm finally finished! Not that it should take weeks to create but...it took weeks to create. I am having so much fun creating the templates, printing them and making them into appliques. I made some t-shirts; one for Valentine's Day, a few for a school function and this one for St. Patrick's Day. I wish I could have finished this last week to offer it on time but better late than never. Sorry about that folks! With that said, let's get down to it.

Materials Needed:
  • Scrap fabric (approximately 5 x 5 inches)
  • Pencil
  • HeatNBond Light (with “Sewable Bond”) cut to fit (approximately 4 x 4 inch square)
  • One Happy Tree Clover Leaf Template and tutorial.
  • T-Shirt - I used a child size medium but a small would be fine
Tutorial:

Click for the TUTORIAL.

Click for the TEMPLATE.

They both are in PDF format.


Here are my girls wearing their Weller Wildcats "W" made using the same process as the tutorial. The school colors are blue and gold. I used blue cotton fabric and gold thread. Looked awesome!

I hope you all enjoy this tutorial! It's so much fun to make. I'll post more templates soon!
