I tried a new kind of applique using vinyl for a bubblegum machine and buttons for the gum. I thought I had researched it, figured it out, and even tried it out on a sample. I learned a lot through completing the sample. Such as, the vinyl I used CAN NOT be ironed, even using a press cloth! That was fun to see it all wrinkled up! Completed the sample, washed it, and thought it was great. Completed the outfit this weekend and washed it last night. I put it on my daughter this morning to take some pictures, only to find out that the vinyl had a small tear in it pulling away from the stitches!
I have since done more research to find that I should have used a heavier vinyl. So, this is not the end of this applique pattern! As the saying goes, "If at first you don't succeed, try try again!" And that is what I will be doing. In the mean time, I think I have figured out how to at least "fix" my daughter's. She is thrilled because she loves the outfit. And who wouldn't love all this polka dot cuteness?!?!
