The Day at the Beach Petite Applique Pattern is one of a series of Dainty Petite Applique patterns. The Day at the Beach Applique incorporates three pattern pieces. You create a fully completed front of a top with pleats and rick rack and a beach hat with rick rack. This applique is a good use for your scrap fabric and trim. The pattern fits an approximate 8" square of fabric; however, the pattern is sizable up or down depending on your preference. The finished dress is a hand applique process to a quilt square, garment, purse, jacket or item of your choice. You can also frame the applique.
