Unlike traditional appliqué, where a fabric shape is sewn on top of a base fabric, reverse appliqué involves cutting away a layer of fabric to reveal a shape appliquéd underneath. Reverse appliqué can create interesting visual effects and the technique can be adapted to suit various outcomes. In this workshop you will be introduced to a simple and effective reversed technique using some easy artistic layering. Throughout this workshop you are encouraged to be creative and develop your own ideas.
NO previous appliqué experience needed
NO sewing machine required
NO pattern-making skills required
