chair bags - continued...

This week seems to be chair bag week, I am getting a bit bored with them now.Today I made a snowboarding print one for Olivers friend "Siprious" (sp?), I got it made in 8 minutes, how professional is that! Sorry, no pic.After school drop off this morning I started Nadia's chair bag, I just love the name Nadia.I have used some funky bright scraps all from the same range and sewn them together, then I ironed them flat; making this my background. For the top piece, I traced the letters backwards onto vlisofex, ironed the vlisofix to some pink homespun, then cut the letters out leaving the letters insides empty.After peeling the backing of the vlisofix off, I ironed the pink homespun on to the top of my background. Then I used matching pink thread and machine blanket stitched the homespun top to the scrap background, securing them together!This is called Reverse Applique and I learnt about it from a Jan Mullen pattern. I then attached the name piece to a backing and made up into a chair bag. Yay! All finished, I am so over chairbags!
