Appliqu\u00e9s in the form of blossoms and floral ornaments offer a nice possibility for decoration on clothes. They are easy to make, are particularly versatile and can be made of different materials. Hand-sewn flowers made of fabric transform clothes into small works of art. Growing roses on floor-length dresses, wild vines climbing over puffed sleeves and even sandals carrying flowers. Flower prints and other floral eye-catchers bring a touch of romance and nostalgia into the wardrobe and are the absolute trend, especially in summer. Here we show different methods for the sewing of textile applications in shape of flowers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Content<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><strong><a href=\"#Blumenbukett\">Instructions Appliqu\u00e9s Bouquet of Flowers<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong><a href=\"#Kelchbl\u00fcte\">Instructions Appliqu\u00e9s\u00a0Flower Calyx<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong><a href=\"#GewickelteRose\">Instructions Appliqu\u00e9s Wrapped Rose<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong><a href=\"#Gef\u00fcllteRose\">Instructions Appliqu\u00e9s Filled Rose<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p2\">For the flower appliqu\u00e9s the selection of the thread for the leaves depends on the size of the leaf. For small leaves a thin thread is best. If a thicker thread is needed, a thinner thread can be doubled in the needle, conversely, twist the thicker thread apart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em><strong>Expert`s Tipp from Therese Walter:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>You can find threads with decorative effect even in knitting rooms. My favourites are shiny yarn &#8220;Decor&#8221; and overlock yarn &#8220;Glamour&#8221; from Madeira. You will see, there is a wide selection of embroidery and artificial silk in specialist shops. The finished embroidered leaves can be additionally decorated with pearls. To create a three-dimensional effect, you need a thin handicraft wire and a textile glue for fixing. Feathers, glass beads or semi-precious stones complete your range of materials.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4099 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Applikationen-naehen-Blumen_Inspiration.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1181\" height=\"873\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Blumenbukett\">Instructions Appliqu\u00e9s Bouquet of Flowers<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3803 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/en\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Sewing-Appliques-Fabric-Blossom.jpg\" alt=\"Pattern for Blossoms made of Fabric\" width=\"1041\" height=\"595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Sewing-Appliques-Fabric-Blossom.jpg 1041w, https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Sewing-Appliques-Fabric-Blossom-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Sewing-Appliques-Fabric-Blossom-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Sewing-Appliques-Fabric-Blossom-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Sewing-Appliques-Fabric-Blossom-255x146.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Sewing-Appliques-Fabric-Blossom-360x206.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1041px) 100vw, 1041px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fig. 1 shows the pattern in original size. For the petals the organza is taken in double. This way the finished petals stay better in shape. They are wound narrowly on top of each other with zigzag stitches in bright colours. Special machines simplify the work.Two leaves &#8211; in the same colour border &#8211; are placed on top of each other in an alternating pattern, held in the middle with irregular folds and sewn on. A pearl covers and decorates the stitching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3160 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Apllikationen-naehen_Bluetenapplikationen-ansicht.jpg\" alt=\"Gen\u00e4hte Bl\u00fcten mit Perlen bestickt sind zu sehen.\" width=\"933\" height=\"748\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Finally, cones made of contrasting organza with tassels look pretty (finished flower bouquet). Take an approx. 15 cm wide diagonal strip, fold it in half and cut out three triangles. Put the edges on each other and you have the cones. They are sewn on by hand and finished with drip beads or pearl tassels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Blumenbukett\">Instructions Appliqu\u00e9s\u00a0Flower Calyx<\/h2>\n<p>The two basic shapes of this blossom are circle and triangle. Made of very light material like organdy, with only one layer of fabric and trimmed at the edges, it is particularly airy. If you want the flower to have more stability, you have to take each circle twice. You may also need organza as an inlay, e.g. for chiffon. Please note that the upper and lower sides are the same, as the material is visible.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3805 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/en\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Fabric-Flowers-Pattern.jpg\" alt=\"Pattern for Flowers made of Fabric\" width=\"509\" height=\"1285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Fabric-Flowers-Pattern.jpg 509w, https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Fabric-Flowers-Pattern-119x300.jpg 119w, https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Fabric-Flowers-Pattern-406x1024.jpg 406w, https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Fabric-Flowers-Pattern-255x644.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Fabric-Flowers-Pattern-158x400.jpg 158w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 509px) 100vw, 509px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Figure 1 shows the circle.

At the lower end the resulting cone is held. Several cones sewn together resulting in the flower. When the pattern has been drawn, the lines are trimmed and cut out with machine embroidery thread and small, tight stitches. Fig. 3 The triangle is worked in the same way. The centre &#8211; see fig. &#8211; is opened to just under a centimetre. The small remaining corner is taken between the circles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3157 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Apllikationen-naehen_Bluetenapplikationen_02.jpg\" alt=\"Zu sehen ist die fertig gefaltete Kelchb\u00fcte aus Stoff gen\u00e4ht.\" width=\"1013\" height=\"502\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fig. 4 shows the finished blossom with three circles and a triangle.

Underlaid with organza, the rose keeps its shape better. A diagonal strip is used for the flower. The length and width of the cutting determines the desired, finished size of the rose. The rose is cut into strips 30 cm long and 8 cm wide. The organza strip must also be cut diagonally. It is stapled underneath. Fig. 1 The double strip is broken lengthwise and turned over at both ends. One side remains in the existing width, the other side is cut along the length &#8211; 1.8 cm to 2 cm &#8211; working process In order not to get too much thread material, only a sparing amount of trimming is done.\u00a0Two small leaves form the bud.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3168 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Apllikationen-naehen_Rosenapplikationen_02.jpg\" alt=\"Gezeigt wird die fertige Gewickelte Rose zum selber n\u00e4hen als Dekoration.\" width=\"1348\" height=\"819\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The lower right figure shows the original size of these leaves.
