At first, I was not sure why she was using the same design on the lighter fabric. I thought the dress was great with the paint design alone. Now, I understand why the extra steps were used. The extra cutting and hand stitching resulted in a dress that says WOW.

I’m glad I watched this before doing my own appliqué because it helped make the process so much simpler than I was intending to do! Natalie is a natural teacher.
