Cut out the desired shape in both the fleece and the interfacing. lay the fleece down on the ironing board, with the interfacing paper side up on top of it. give it a quick press. peel off the paper backing & trim any excess glue off. lay the appliqué glue side down onto the final piece. place presser cloth over and press gently. flip over onto back side and press a little longer to finish adhering appliqué piece to fabric. go ahead and finish it with any decorative stitching.
a mini series detailing how to find the right pattern, how to read the instructions, and how to cut it out.
after that you just follow the directions to sew it up! if there is interest in sewing along I will make a continuation to this series.
how to tie the Chinese knot on the back of Lie-Ren season 4-6 Jacket
The knot is the beginning of a Chinese Square Lucky knot.
Here is a super sped up time lapse of how I put the tassels together for Ren.
▶️ the rope you want to cap in tassels
▶️ existing tassels to destroy OR a skein or embroidery floss in a coordinating color
▶️ fabric glue (and preferably something to smooth it down, i used the other end of a seam ripper, just your finger is fine but messy)
▶️ scissors
I do use a lot of fabric glue and would recommend letting it fully dry between each step
1️⃣cut length of rope and seal off ends with fabric glue
2️⃣ take apart existing tassel OR grab a skein of embroidery floss in a matching color
3️⃣ split apart the rope and put half of the tassel through the opening, winding down till the bottom.
4️⃣ Use a little bit of glue to lay the strands so they cover the cut end of the rope
5️⃣ wind a thread around the threads just under where the rope ended. This creates the tassel. glue down for extra security.
6️⃣ trim the ends and done!
