I was asked to participate in a competition with "That Sewing Blab", a Face Book sewing community. There contest is a 3 Round competition where you receive a mystery item and you have to incorporate it into a garment. The applique in the pictures was the mystery item.
When I received it, I wasn't sure waht to do with it as it was little large. I didn't want to just place it on a top or jacket, it is very beautiful, these pictures does it no justice. So I decided to make me a Peplum Belt, I had saved several peplum belts on my Pinterest board previously so I had some inspiration to work with.
My belt was self drafted and I used the Applique as a closure. I made a 4 inch waistband and a made two half circles that I pleated in the front and back. It was a quick make, and I love the way it came out. Oh and I won the first challange.
Happy Sewing!
This is totally awesome work! Love, love, love it!
