Then traced onto fusible web then cut out fabric silhouettes
Ironed it all on and just done a zig-zag around to secure the fabric pieces
Used a fine cotton for the pieces and the background fabric is heavy duty upholstery fabric - a chenille tapestry fabric
Now to decide how to embroider the figures so they still stand out against the background fabric ....................... big thinks required
I had tried it on a plain fabric - and marked up the fabric - that will require more thought but thought would try the above first as the plain upholstery fabric will require more work
Figures on plain fabric .................lots of embroidery required there to make them pop!
Well stage one done - will start embroidering and embellishing this evening and think on the plain one .................. be different!
At the moment need a rest - as very tired after all that!
Better check iron switched off!!!
