St. Patrick's Day Shamrock Pattern
"Kiss Me - I'm Irish!"
APPLIQUE LESSON: FUSIBLE WEB
(Iron-On Adhesive)
Project by Aleah for CraftAndFabricLinks.com
|
|
|
Use your favorite tee shirt or tank top pattern, or purchase a plain white tee shirt or tank top, and add appliques for a St. Patrick's Day celebration.
There are two steps to using fusible web (also called iron-on adhesive). The first is to attach the adhesive to your transfer pieces (the applique pieces). The second step is to iron the applique onto your garment.
To learn a quick and easy method for using iron on adhesive and a pressing sheet, visit our free instructions on Creating A Floral No-Sew Applique.
The applique pieces will not stick to the pressing sheet, which makes it
easy to create very intricate appliques. A pressing sheet is not required for this project.
Be sure to check out our NOTIONS for iron-on adhesive and pressing sheets - great prices!
Supplies
1/4 yard green fabric for applique pieces
sharp scissors
pins
large sewing ruler or yardstick
1/4 yard fusible web (iron-on adhesive)
I used our Fusible Web for this project.
white tee shirt or tank top
Optional: fabric paint (comes in a fine tipped tube for outlining applique)
I used green for the letters and gold for the shamrocks

Our pattern will download as a pdf file. Each group will fit onto an 8/5" x 11" paper.
If you need instructions on using pdf files, go to PDF Instructions.

NOTE: Our patterns are printed as reverse images. The reason is that you will
trace the pattern onto the back of the fusible web. When the pattern pieces are cut out and adhered to the
shirt, they will be a correct image.
Before you begin, prewash and dry the fabric and shirt. Do not use fabric softener. Iron as needed.

1. Cut a piece of fusible web (such as Heat N Bond or Wonder Under (also called iron-on adhesive)
large enough to cover each pattern. I used our fusible web for this project.
2. Lay the web over the pattern, paper side up. Trace the reversed image onto the paper side of the fusible web.
I found that pencil worked best (ink smeared).
