Jersey applique is so beautiful and such an easy project – even for a sewing beginner or for your kids! It just takes some minutes, and it’s a perfect project to use up all those jersey knit scraps. You can choose a simple design for your jersey applique, such as dots, stripes or flowers, or a more complicated pattern.

The jersey is appliqued with running stitches by hand. But even if you hate hand sewing, don’t fear: jersey applique is really easy and fast to sew.

You’ll need:

• jersey knit fabric
• yarn
• needle with a rounded point
• scissor

Using a paper pattern, cut out dots – or strawberries, ice cream cones or elephants! 😉

Applique the jersey dots with running stitches.

Tie an overhand knot and cut off the yarn ends.

I used the jersey applique to embellish a headband.
