Fall Leaves and Acorn Shirt

Prepare the Appliqués

• Apply fusible web to the back (wrong side) of your fabric following the manufacturer's directions.
• Cut the acorn template into two pieces so that cap and the nut can be separate colors.
• If there is paper backing, trace the template shape directly on to the paper and cut out the shapes. For no paper backing, trace the templates directly on the fabric.
• Trace the leaf veins on to the fabric with a thin, barely visible, washable line or sew the veins "free hand" with the sewing machine.
