How interesting. I like this use as it will enable a different view and texture to a gown. This also makes me think of decorative hems in a different way. Thank you for being apart of Cocovid!
I would definitely suggest doing it on a sampler first. Maybe a pouch? But when you do, pop over to instagram and share with me your photos I would really like to see what you make!
Holy cow, that's amazing! I actually put down my own sewing to watch this. I've never seen anything like it before. Makes me really want to try it. Thank you.
Lol you were cute at the end with the testing 123 💖 Since there was a surprise one, I wasn’t expecting the actual one towards the end lol 😅 I love how the butterfly turned out~! 💖💖💖
Glad you liked it!! Thank you. The butterfly project was a gift for a friend. it is the symbol of his rank/award in the SCA. It was perfect to teach with!
I use to use this method on the quilts I use to design and make when Mom and I would quilt together. Since she passed away in 2011 I have not been able to bring myself to quilt again. I have a quilt that Mom made for me but never quilted the 3 layers together so I need to make a quilting frame and work on it ☺️ I loved designing picture quilts I have electric quilt software which when I first started using it I was told it was not designed for that kind of work 😹😹😹 when I showed Penny and Dean the owners of the software what I had done Dean started to reprogramming the software to take it into account 😹😹they used my early designs at the Huston quilt show back in 90’s. I love appliqué work more than standard patchwork I think it’s because it can be used on clothing and stitched with embroidery floss. You can also dress it up with beads too thanks for sharing it was nice to see this type of work again 🤗🤗🤗
OH! I just love this!!! makes my heart sing! It is hard to "art" when it is in conjunction with loss sometimes- My heart goes out to you! Sending you light and loves! Thank you for sharing and watching!
Eagle & Rue ☺️☺️Thank you ❤️❤️ but yes it has been, Dad and I have been distracting ourselves with everything else but as they say eventually you have to face it head on, but, umm not just heat ☺️☺️
I have never seen that before. Such a Contrast to the regular. It looks amazing. I hope to have time for it in the future. Currently working on my SIL's wedding. Excellent Video.
Lovely, lovely example to learn and be inspired by - thank you! But I must admit I've watched this video maybe 40 times (thus far) due to the dreamy piano music that stirs my soul. Could you please share the artist and name of this piece? It's divine.
What an interesting concept! I loved the examples you showed at the beginning and the end. Especially how it is a technique used in non-Western cultures. I have to imagine the first time someone tries this it is very nerve-wracking to make that first cut into fabric :D
Thanks for the tutorial! I think I’m going to try this technique for patching my sons’ pants! The legs are too slim to do by machine, and I’m too lazy (or don’t have enough time) to pick and re sew the side seam.
So neat. I've seen the finished product of this method before, but never really investigated how it was done. The tiny cut sections make sense, but I would not have thought to do it that way. Also I gained a better understanding of how the chain stitch is done. Thanks!
Showing stitches in a variety of ways targets everyone. You never know who learns better seeing a stitch done a slightly different way or angle. I am so glad this helped you!
Excellent video! I've seen it on quilts in a quilt show and also the Mola work but never really Saw it...understood how. I'm not sure if you've said before ( newbie) about what size and kind of needle you use. It seems very long! Thank you💗🍁
Was that the chain embroidery stitch at 7:42? I was wondering since you made the stitch differently than Gilbert Dolthalion did in his embroidery video for cocovid. I could be totally wrong now. Beautifully executed craft (and video-thanks for the close closeups)
Lovely, I've seen a few costumes with this. I may have to try it. You did some embroidery on the outside. Are there any extant garments that show additional embroidery on the inner sections?
What a wonderful question. I am actually not certain. I have hunted for the documentation on reverse applique as is, and it is a tough search by itself. So I don't know, if I find some I will for sure share it.
Very beautiful examples at the beginning, I actually haven't seen this before anywhere. What do you do with the loose fabric on the back? Tack it down or leaving it like that?
Good question! Just leave it. Because you tacked around the reverse image to show through, the fabric is not going to go anywhere. Since there really is not a great deal of loose fabric it does not interfere with the project. Now; I will say that if you are reverse applique on a garment (which I have done) you can cut away the excess if you think it will create bulk in the garment. But usually I use it as part of the stiffening or structural aspect of the garment. I will have a video on a project where you can see I have done this.
i remember seeing something on this topic in the 70s. the video wasnt clear, it was presented as an odd thing the native peoples of southern mexico did. didnt help the tv signal was poor.
Thank you! My Grandmother was Kuna. I remember seeing framed pictures when I was little, but had no idea how they were made. Thank you for showing me!
Very cool! I am so glad I was able to share this with you! YEs!
Such a charming skill! Thank you for not choosing a too basic design to show us, it's beautiful.
Glad you like it! There Is the clip where I started with a square, but that was just not fun for me. So bringing you fun is part of my fun!
How interesting. I like this use as it will enable a different view and texture to a gown. This also makes me think of decorative hems in a different way. Thank you for being apart of Cocovid!
Happy to help. I will be posting a video- when it is done of a dress I am going to be using more varied techniques. LOL Art is fun!
Never heard of this kind of craft before. Thank you.
There is so much out there, I continue to learn every day.
Lovely work. And those heraldic eagles blew my mind! Absolutely beautiful and that is some awe-inspiring patience and time.
I am so glad you enjoyed it! THe heraldic dress seems to be the one I get the most photos from other people in. LOL
mannn I'm gonna do ALL the embroideriiing. Thank you so much for these classes
Have fun! if you feel like sharing- tag me on instagram so I can see your work!
Just beautiful , calming and magical. Thank you❣️
I am so glad you liked it!
Thank you for a concise and very clear tutorial!
Thanks for watching!
I want to try this on a skirt, I always thought it would be very difficult, but you made it seem very straightforward. Thank you!
I would definitely suggest doing it on a sampler first. Maybe a pouch? But when you do, pop over to instagram and share with me your photos I would really like to see what you make!
Very rustic looking. I think this would work well on a reform dress. Thanks for the inspiration!
You are more than welcome!
That is so cool! I had no idea how this was actually done!
I have no words. Stunning!
What a lovely way to use up scraps. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Love it! With these colors I now really wan to make some hufflepuff reverse appliqués!
ooh my! yes, come over to instagram and share those photos I would LOVE to see them!
I am so glad I finally got to watch someone do this! I have seen it on people's clothing for years! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
What a fantastic technique! Thank you for sharing this video, it's given me some serious inspiration!
I'm so glad!
Holy cow, that's amazing! I actually put down my own sewing to watch this. I've never seen anything like it before. Makes me really want to try it. Thank you.
That is awesome! I love to inspire more creativity!
This is a neat idea for making favors. Thank you!
honestly, every video you've put out this week has been so wonderful! thank you so much for sharing your skill with us :)
Thank you so much! I am glad you liked them!
Wow! I honestly don’t k is if I’ve ever seen this in person, but so cool!
Lol you were cute at the end with the testing 123 💖
Since there was a surprise one, I wasn’t expecting the actual one towards the end lol 😅
I love how the butterfly turned out~! 💖💖💖
Glad you liked it!! Thank you. The butterfly project was a gift for a friend. it is the symbol of his rank/award in the SCA. It was perfect to teach with!
Interesting as always! I love the kirtle you showed at the end with reverse flower appliqué, absolutely stunning!
Thank you! Cheers!
Interesting technique, and so cool to see the butterfly emerge through the video - very apt design choice!
Thank you! Cheers!
This was really interesting! It feels like magic to me! Thank you so much for showing this!
You are more than welcome!

You should!
That is very beautiful! I had no idea something like reverse appliqué exists
Glad you like it! I learned about it about 4 years ago... and never looked back. It is not used as much as the other applique' techniques.
Lovely, lovely example to learn and be inspired by - thank you! But I must admit I've watched this video maybe 40 times (thus far) due to the dreamy piano music that stirs my soul. Could you please share the artist and name of this piece? It's divine.
This was beautifully meditative to watch! Thank you for sharing :-)
Glad you enjoyed it! I am so glad, to talk or not to talk a huge conundrum in making videos. LOL
I love your green tichel!!
I love how you know that is a tichel !!! Thank you!
What an interesting concept! I loved the examples you showed at the beginning and the end. Especially how it is a technique used in non-Western cultures. I have to imagine the first time someone tries this it is very nerve-wracking to make that first cut into fabric :D
Glad you liked it!nThat first cut can be a little nerve wracking, but so satisfying!
Incredibly beautiful work!
Thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial! I think I’m going to try this technique for patching my sons’ pants! The legs are too slim to do by machine, and I’m too lazy (or don’t have enough time) to pick and re sew the side seam.
You got this! show me on instagram how it comes out, I would love to see.
So neat. I've seen the finished product of this method before, but never really investigated how it was done. The tiny cut sections make sense, but I would not have thought to do it that way. Also I gained a better understanding of how the chain stitch is done. Thanks!

It turned out really beautifull!
Thank you!
This has inspired me to try reverse applique!
Wonderful!
Lovely! I was just debating reverse applique but was intimidated by it.I'll have to try next time 😊
If you have trouble, dont's hesitate to email me!
Thank you and good close up camera shots!
Thank you too!
Excellent video! I've seen it on quilts in a quilt show and also the Mola work but never really Saw it...understood how. I'm not sure if you've said before ( newbie) about what size and kind of needle you use. It seems very long! Thank you💗🍁
I have a tendency to like the long, thin quilting basting needles- most people use a #10 sharp. I find that my fingers loose them, no grip. LOL
Was that the chain embroidery stitch at 7:42? I was wondering since you made the stitch differently than Gilbert Dolthalion did in his embroidery video for cocovid. I could be totally wrong now. Beautifully executed craft (and video-thanks for the close closeups)
Yes, this is a type of chain stitch. There are many variations of this stitch.
Very handy! I've always wondered how that was done.
Lovely, I've seen a few costumes with this. I may have to try it. You did some embroidery on the outside. Are there any extant garments that show additional embroidery on the inner sections?
What a wonderful question. I am actually not certain. I have hunted for the documentation on reverse applique as is, and it is a tough search by itself.
So I don't know, if I find some I will for sure share it.
It looks so much easier when you do it-lol!
Just a little bit of practice. The green outfit with the gold eagles? that was my FIRST reverse applique' project.
Very beautiful examples at the beginning, I actually haven't seen this before anywhere.
What do you do with the loose fabric on the back? Tack it down or leaving it like that?
Good question! Just leave it. Because you tacked around the reverse image to show through, the fabric is not going to go anywhere.

Thank you!
You bet!
That’s lovely! And also kind of terrifying
OH no! Don't be scared! It is so much fun!
Yay!!! I got here too!!!
Hurray! And did you have fun?
That was charming, thank you : )
My pleasure!
I did this for my textiles qualifications, we also called it stitch and slash 🙂
NICE!
For our 25th anniversary my parents gave us a beautiful framed mola with wonderful, intricate reverse applique. The topic? The number 25.
Love this!
💖
i remember seeing something on this topic in the 70s. the video wasnt clear, it was presented as an odd thing the native peoples of southern mexico did. didnt help the tv signal was poor.
I am so glad I was able to demonstrate and teach it!
