What's a great Christmas holiday season, without an "Ugly Sweater"?
Here is one that won't make you look silly wearing it, but still allows you to join in on the fun of it all!
It's quick and easy to put together, and bound to put a smile on everyone's face.
Supplies
½ yard or 2 fat quarters fabric for background and backing
1/6-yard binding fabric
Miscellaneous fabrics for appliques
HeatNBond®Fusible Fleece
HeatNBond®EZ Print Featherlite
or
HeatNBond®Lite fusible web
SprayNBond®Basting Adhesive
Thread to match
Applique pressing sheet
6 micro buttons for tree ornaments
Fuse HeatNBond®Fusible Fleece to the backside of background fabric. It not only provides a nice stable surface for stitching appliques, but it keeps your projects nice and flat. I love using it on small wall hangings, as well as table runners and toppers.
Rough cut the applique shapes and fuse to the backside of your fabrics. When cool cut out and arrange on an applique pressing sheet. Fuse in place. When cool, remove from the pressing sheet and lay on your quilt top. Fuse in place.
Place your sweater mini, the wrong side up on an old sheet or towel. Using SprayNBond®Basting Adhesive, spray the backside and lay the backing, right side up, on top. You can now take this quilt sandwich to your machine and stitch the appliques down as desired. Quilt, sew micro buttons to the tree, and attach the binding.
You are now ready to rock your "Ugly Sweater".
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season!
