To children's things were more stylish and attractive, they are decorated with various finishing details. At the same time, clothes for girls are easier to make unique with, for example, ribbons, flowers and beads. For boys, such accessories will not work. Therefore, it is better to use emblems, embroidery or appliqués. Let's try to portray a boat. Application can be performed in several ways, which will be discussed in this article.
Technology for sewing pillowcases for the pillow of the future sailor
The kid will surely like this design. Choose a suitable fabric for the base (plain) and for the details (in a cage, in a strip), as well as several buttons to match. Applications on the marine theme usually include the use of white and blue colors. The third and subsequent shades can be any. First draw a future drawing on paper. You can bring your baby to this activity. After that, correct the workpiece and transfer it to the fabric. Take out the cut-out details, arranging them in accordance with the conceived idea “Ship”. The appliqué is attached to the base using contrasting threads with the line “Zigzag” (adjust the desired density and sewing frequency). Try to do the job carefully and leisurely. Cut the rest of the fabric from the edges with special or nail scissors. Decorate the boat with buttons on the bottom of the silhouette. The application will turn out to be more adjacent to the base if the workpiece with the swept parts is pre-steamed with an iron. After finishing work is completed, sew a pillowcase according to the pattern and parameters of the pillow.
How is Crochet applique made?
The photo clearly shows how you can decorate knitted children's things. Since it will be rather problematic to sew a fabric boat over dense material, the application is made in the form of individual elements with a hook. Suppose the bottom is blue. Select the thread of the appropriate shade and the right size knitting device. Dial 15-20 stitches and complete the first row with single crochet stitches. To expand the application around the edges at the beginning and end of the second row, knit several elements in one loop. So, when the base of the boat is ready, you can begin to manufacture sails. They look like two white triangles. In order for the parts to narrow from the base, the middle two or three columns of the previous row are knitted in the middle of the next together. Sew the completed parts to the product with hidden stitches, and decorate the boat with a flag (from several stitches). The application is additionally made out in waves.
Paper art
As mentioned above, to translate interesting ideas into reality, you can and should attract children. Kids will be happy not only to color the finished drawings in the brochures they bought, but also to be able to make simple crafts themselves. For example, the application “Ship” from colored paper is very simple. To do this, after enlarging, you can print the proposed image in two copies. Then cut one of them and prepare colored paper patterns in parts. Transferring every detail to the material of the desired shade, entrust the child with the subsequent operation - he will easily cope with the work of manufacturing the details of the application. After that, all the parts need to be glued to the second printed copy - and the craft will be ready!
T-shirt trim
As you can see, there can be many options for translating ideas. Even a simple T-shirt or shirt for a boy can be simply and quickly decorated with a simple pattern. The application made of “Ship” fabric is fastened in front of the product with hand stitches. It is not necessary to invent complex design. It is enough to match the theme and style. For the lower part, traditionally choose a fabric of blue shade, and make the sails white. Having cut out the details according to the template, sweep them to the finished children's T-shirt. Then, with neat stitches, moving along the edge of the fabric, sew them, stepping on top of 0.4-0.5 cm. The distance between them should be the same. If necessary (for higher strength), re-seam.
