Transfer foil and fusible thread
This is not a finished piece but I needed something to blog about! I started with a piece of white fabric. I placed a paper snowflake that I had cut onto the fabric. I sprayed an acrylic paint over it. The paper snowflake acted as a resist. I then stitched with fusible thread in the bobbin as it wouldn't go through my needle. That meant I had to sew upside down. It was a bit tricky but worth it I think. I then used silver transfer foil and applied it to the fusible thread with an hot iron. I really like that it has a subtle shine to it.
