As you can see through the above thumbnail, this piece of chenille is different from the one we did last time.  Please check Chenille page for comparison.  Instead of using a piece of cotton print fabric for the top layer, I made a fabric collage as our top layer.

Developing a Chenille

The construction of this chenille is the same as the one we did before. There is a piece of muslin as our foundation.  Then, we add two layers of osnaburg to the muslin. 

The top layer was made of several small pieces of cotton.  At first, we laid out cotton pieces on the top of osnaburg.  After we felt happy with the design, we have to pin them to the bottom layers. 

Then, we sew them together with straight stitch 45 degrees along the grain of fabrics.  The sewing and cutting methods are the same as the one from last time.  Please check Chenille page for reference.
