Progress Report.....

This project is continued from here...,

Please excuse the dark photos.

I was up into the night working on this.

I elected, 

after making some samples,

to use this product....

to mark Anna's Garden Stencil onto

Alabama Chanin's medium weight organic cotton jersey

I can hear Gaia scream......

in my defense, it is a chalk product and will wash out once the stitching is done.

I also (ahem) used a light fabric spray adhesive, which was a 'bit tricky' to work with....

to adhere two layers of fabric for the negative reverse appliqué that I plan to execute

all this to avoid tedious basting and marking.....

this will also wash out.....or so they say

I hope it won't come back to haunt me as I cut away the excess fabric. 

next I basted the neck and arm holes to avoid stretching while I stitch the appliqué 

and the stitching begins.....
