Shadow applique is a relatively modern form of needle art, presented here as a simple technique with enchantingly delicate results. Applique pieces placed over a foundation fabric are covered with a sheer fabric, outlined with backstitch and enhanced with simple embroidery.
The designs in this book draw inspiration from forms in nature, flowers in the garden, flower books and paintings. Complete instructions are included, with pattern diagrams, for seventeen projects including a makeup purse, potpourri sachets and a sleep mask, a sewing kit, baby's bib, a collar for a child's dress, bookmarks, greeting cards and dainty pictures.
