PROJECT 134
CUTESY COZIES | ANITA'S EXPRESS | 204
AUGUST 2020
Choosing the correct fabrics will make the designs pop!
To take your Cutesy Cozies the extra mile, take some time
before you begin to figure out what fabric and threads you
want to showcase in your design! Select the design that you
want to stitch, then select the perfect fabrics to coordinate
with its theme! For example, one design features a cool slice
of pizza surrounded by some of our favorite pizza toppings,
so we chose a color palette full of greens, reds, and tans. Or
you could find inspiration in a southwestern color palette like
we did for the stylish llama hanging out in a coffee cup with
some cute cacti!
Once you've selected the fabrics you'd like to use, you can
coordinate your threads around them. First, match your
threads to the color of your fabric for any satins that will finish
the edge of your appliqués, then select a few threads to use
for the decorative embroidery. Think about finding threads
that will go well with and complement the colors of your
fabrics, while also thinking about what motifs are featured
in the decorative embroidery. Once you have the perfect
fabrics and threads picked out, it's time to get stitching!
