The Applique Phase


AT various stages of my dressmaking journey I have experimented with different forms of embellishment.  In the early 1980s I had a bit of a fascination with applique.  The techniques and materials used at the time were fairly primitive but it was fun.  Better interfacings and better machines have contributed to a more sophisticated use of applique.  The black skirt, bought and worn by my neighbour Sally, is a 2011 effort.
