TUTTI FRUTTI APPLIQUE

My latest column for PRETTY PATCHES magazine featured my winter warm up Tutti Frutti appliqué patch tutorial. Inspired by retro iron-on embroidered embellishments and following the latest trend for patched up denims, these Tutti Frutti appliqué’s are perfect for customising last seasons cast-off threads!

These are easy-peasy to sew by hand or on the machine and can be made from using either a wool blend felt or heavy duty cotton.
You can use these fruit-tastic appliqués to cover up and customise your worn out wardrobe either stitching over holes or as decorative details for almost anything and everything. Think jeans, jackets, hats, coats, bags, backpacks, whatever you like. Anything goes. If you can stitch onto it, then you can patch it!
