Supplies:
Sweatshirt of choice
1 fat quarter of fabric
Batting cut to 14”x11”
2in yarn pom pom
Fabric scissors
Quilting tracing tool
Pins or clips
Coordinating thread
Fray-preventing fabric glue
Step-by-Step Guide:
Step 1: Prepare the Pattern
Print and cut out the provided bunny template. Align and tape the edges together to form a single traceable stencil.
Step 2: Cut the Fabric
Using the stencil, trace the bunny shape onto your chosen fabric. Carefully cut out the design.
Step 3: Layer and Mark Quilting Lines
Place the fabric cutout over a piece of batting. Secure with pins or clips. Using a quilting tracing tool, mark your desired quilting lines.
Step 4: Quilt the Appliqué
Stitch along the marked quilting lines, securing the fabric to the batting. This will create a textured, quilted effect.
Step 5: Prevent Fraying
Apply fray-preventing fabric glue along the raw edges of the fabric. Allow it to dry completely before proceeding.
Step 6: Trim Excess Batting
Once the glue is dry, carefully trim any excess batting around the fabric shape.
Step 7: Attach the Appliqué
Position the quilted bunny on the sweatshirt as desired. Using a decorative stitch, sew the appliqué securely in place.
