For Christmas and New Year, decorate your favorite woolen plaid with applications and embroidery of five-pointed stars!
The festive decor for the rest corner is done quite simply, although not very quickly: the motifs of the stars are transferred to the beautiful shreds of fabric, then they are cut and sewn along the contour with contrasting threads with large stitches over the edge. Small stars are embroidered with straight stitches.
YOU WILL NEED Light wool plaid; four different flaps of wool and printed velvet; glue spider web flizofiks (Freudenberg); red and brown threads for embroidery Anchor (Coats Mez); a phantom pencil whose tracks fade over time (Prym); embroidery needle.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK Draw drawings to 26 cm, 12 cm and 9 cm (= spacing a-b) and cut. On the seamy side of the flaps of woolen fabric and velvet, iron the flizofiks. Transfer the big star to the paper side of the flizofiksa and cut it out. Remove the paper layer; arrange the stars on a plaid and iron them (at a distance of 18 cm from the fringe).
First, stitch the contours of the star with a zigzag stitch, then manually lay the stitches of the velvet seam. For each star, use threads of a different color. Arrange medium-sized stars between the fringe and stars from the fabric, draw their contours with a phantom pencil.
Lay out stitching stitches along the contours. For each star, use threads of a different color.
Arrange small stars above large stars. They are performed similarly to medium stars.
