Sheer Fabric Elegance Kits, new from Sylvia’s Studio, make it easy and economical for you to create gorgeous, elaborately embellished appliqué designs on wearables, quilts, needlework and everyplace else where you want a stylish, fashionable, refined, and sophisticated effect. The flower petals at left were cut from small pieces of sequined sheer fabric cut to only 4" x 6". Metallic sewing threads enable you to attach and quilt all in one step using your favorite decorative machine stitches.

Coordinated, hard-to-find sheer fabrics like
silk organza, lace, embroidered sheers studded with sequins, flower
petals, leaves, ribbons, shiny rayon floss and metallic cords are now
packaged in kit form just for you. Why buy whole or half yards of these
precious fibers in the few colors available in shops? Many small pieces,
not just a few big ones, give your creations a sophisticated, refined
look. Combine many colors and styles of sheer dazzling textiles along with
matched notions and trims. Visit Sheer Fabric Elegance Kits to see
contents of a typical kit. Each kit comes with a detailed booklet of
close-up color photos, tips and instructions to inspire and guide you as
to make your spectacular quilted appliqué designs and
embroideries.
