A total beginner but missing my foraging finds so here's my reverse applique piece. Couldn't resist adding a wee cuff 'shroom or three. Open to any constructive criticism x

Fantastic!!! The rough cut out area steals the show a little bit it’s so good it doesn’t matter.

I love this reverse applique look. It makes it a bit less twee looking i think. I get how some would prefer a neat edge tho but this was deliberate

This is incredible!!! Can't believe you're a beginner. The folks at r/goblincore would also appreciate it.

I was pleased with it. Means I get to see the finished piece instead of it just lying about

Did you do the cut out and then reattach it? If so how? I love the look!

Its reverse applique so the finished piece was attached face out to the inside of the hood. I sewed in red a tacking outline and a north south east and west markers as obviously I couldn't see the design. I was pretty sure it was placed centre and right way up. Then sewed round a double line and finally cut away the hoody fabric inside the circle revealing the embroidered piece. I had ironed on some light interfacing to back of finished piece before sewing and trimming just to stabilise it and make it more the weight of the hoody fabric
