Intro
Weather you have a plain solid or print sheer fabric and want to reduce the transparency level a little, after you cut out the pattern you had in mind, you are always going to have some leftover corners with or without the print motifs. A quick way to add some flair and reduce that transparency is to apply cutouts from the leftovers to the fabric itself. I did this on a silk chiffon, that does not fray so bad, I'm not sure how it works with knits, I guess it would be nice on those stretch mesh (net?) fabrics too.
Technique Materials
sheer fabric, cutouts for appliqué - from the same fabric or a similar fabric, with or without the print

that’s a great idea! Not just for transparent fabric, but for give some detail for some creations!

You sew, I’ve entered that part too, it just didn’t get saved the first time, thanks for noticing!

It’s a great idea! You seem to have skipped the part about how you attach them. Do you sew them or glue them on?
