To sew a tack in the form of an apple you will need:
- trouser-leg from old jeans;
- a small flap of colored fabric (preferably cotton);
- insulation, for example, synthetic winterizer.
Draw an apple shape on a piece of paper. The size of the template is optional, such that it would be convenient to use the future tack. Place the template on the leg of jeans and cut the desired piece. You will need two cuts of the same size.
Iron the cut part well with steam.
Using a marker or a simple pencil, draw the contours of the apple on the front of the flap.
Place the flap with the translated lines on the synthetic winterizer, pin with pins and sew strictly along the line. To sew a tack, it is better to adjust a seam 2-2.5 mm long in a sewing machine. A line of this length is optimal for high-quality eversion of the product.
Fold the resulting sandwich in half and make a cut in the middle. Approximately its length will be 5 cm.
Cut a strip 7 cm long and 3 cm wide. Fold it and stitch it - this will be the tail of the apple.
Put another rag of jeans on the sandwich with the slit face to face. Use pins to fasten all three components of the new sandwich. Attach the apple's tail with a pin to the inside of the two jeans.
Lay the line again on the typewriter, guided by the line from the side of the padding polyester. Do not rush, try to get line by line!
Use zig-zag scissors to cut off excess fabric and insulation. If you don’t have such scissors, then cut off all the excess with ordinary scissors at a distance of about a half centimeter from the stitch, and in the places of rounding make notches, not reaching the stitch by a couple of millimeters. As a result, we have such a detail. View from two sides.
Turn the bullseye through the cut.
Using a ruler, align all the seams. To do this, slide the ruler through the cut into the inside of the apple, and with a corner, squeeze the line out. But do not overdo it, so as not to break the thread!
We iron the resulting workpiece with steam on both sides.
From the x / o cut, we cut out another apple detail, only about 1 cm less than the main one. To do this, you can draw a smaller template on a piece of paper, or you can reduce it directly on the fabric. To do this, translate the original size, and then draw a smaller one there.
We place the cotton blank on the main one.
With the help of an iron and glue web, we glue two blanks.
We lay an applique seam or a small zigzag along the edge of the cotton blank (set the stitch length to 1 and the width to 3).
Iron again. The tack is ready!
