Punch Needle on a Denim Shirt

By Amy

Punch Needle on Denim Shirt

I have been wanting to try punching on a denim shirt.

But, I haven’t been able to find

any woven interfacing in my local stores.

(I have read woven interfacing is the best product to use.)

Impatient as I was to try this out,

I didn’t want to wait for an order to arrive,

so I decided to try punching with a non-woven interfacing.

I used Pellon Fusible Sheerweight 906F interfacing.

How to punch needle on a denim shirt:

First, transfer the pattern to the smooth side of the fusible interfacing.

I used a light box, but you could also put it up to a sunny window.

Transfer the Pattern

I used one of the three sheep in this sheep ornament punch needle pattern.

Then, following the instructions for the interfacing

iron the interfacing to the back side of the denim shirt.

Be sure it is right side up and placed just where you want it!

Place the shirt into your no-slip hoop

being sure to get the fabric drum-tight.

place shirt into locking hoopSign me up!

Next, start punching like normal.

As I started punching, I noticed the interfacing was starting to come off

so I quickly outlined the sheep to help keep it all together.

Punch the pattern

After I finished punching,

I trimmed the extra interfacing off.

Trim the Edges

Here’s the finished Punch Needle on a Denim Shirt project:

I am going to experiment with washing it.

I will let you know how that turns out!
