Little red riding hood - the latest creation by Mimi - finished and in progress, check it out…

mimi kirchner is truly a genius with cloth and stuffing and applique - and she has a new applique method which she overheard in a shop.

You have your chosen fabric and then something like a very light not iron-on interfacing for backing. I had some used dryer sheets and thats what I used- they worked perfectly. You put your fabric face down on the backing. You sew the outline of your shape. Clip the curves and trim the seam. Cut a slit in the backing. Turn the little shape right-side out. Now, all your edges are turned in for you- iron it flat. Sew the shape in place.
