What do you need:
- Paper, Pencil and Scissors
- Fabric and Thread
- Interfacing /Interfacing double-sided and a Iron
- Sewing Machine/ Needle

How to work Step by Step:

STEP 1
Sew or compose your Costume, as you need it.
If you know where the Pattern will be sewn on it: take the Fabric or the Pattern for Step 3 as a Template.

STEP 2
Take (leftover) Paper, a Sketch of the Costume as an Overview and Pens for Drawing.

STEP 3
Copy the Fabric or the Pattern on the Paper.
Then draw the desired Pattern as a Template onto the Paper.

STEP 4
Cut and sort everything.

STEP 5
Reinforce your Fabric with Interfacing. It must not go off!

STEP 6
Draw with the Template your Pattern on the Fabric and cut them roughly.

STEP 7
Set your Machine to a Zigzag. This can be nearly look like this.
Sew all the Lines along the Fabric. This can sometimes take a little longer. So be patient.

Tip: watch your favourite Movies or TV Shows. It will calm your Mind by big Patterns like this FAI Version.

STEP 8
The Pattern looks like this, once you've sewed it. Sometimes you have to iron it then.

STEP 9
Cut it out carefully. In this case you may not cut the Seam, otherwise everything loosen.

STEP 10
Cut all the Threads.

STEP 11
Place the Pattern on the Costume / the Fabric. You can clue it or get pin it.
In double-sided Interfacing just put it ironed, then it will not slip.
Sew a second Time with the Zigzag along the Pattern.

STEP 12
Your Appliquè is done! Of course you can iron over it one last Time.
