Reply To: Tips On Nice Fabric Cutouts 2.0

Hi there, This skirt is going to be awesome and I can’t wait to see how it’s going to turn out.  If I understand you correctly, the blue fabric is behind the main fabric.  You’re going to cut holes in the main fabric at certain places so you’ll be able to see the blue.  Is that right?  I hope so because I love this technique which I also call reverse applique.  It gives the project a whole new dimension.  You can actually see how I do it in this tutorial, starting at timecode: 01:50.  The best part of this is that it works on curves and the raw edges are hidden so you don’t have to worry about fraying.  It’s also really easy to do.  If you’re only doing blue cutouts, consider just lining the whole skirt with the blue, so then no matter where you cut, you already have blue underneath and are ready to go.  It’ll make it easier for you and will look more clean on the inside of the skirt.  I hope this helps.
