You will need:
• A few different fabrics to add interest. Mix and match patterns and just go nuts with it, the end product will be amazing!
• Scissors
• Sewing machine
• Fusible web
What to do:
• Use the template from Creative Grids, it is 3 ½ round or something similar.
• Cut out about 14 scraps, 4” square
• Cut out 7 pieces of fusible web, just a touch smaller than your 4” squares
• Next, place the webbing between pieces of fabric and fuse, making 7 fused pieces.
• Place your circle pattern over the fused pieces and trace. Cut a circle from each one.
• Fold one circle in half and press to form a crease. Open the circle again and lay it flat.
• Place all circles on top of each other into a giant stack with the creased circle on the top
• Using a 14 needle, stitch through all the layers along the crease, stopping ½ from the end. Leave under presser foot.
• Now place the ends of your folded ribbon between the 2nd and 3rd circles. Line it up with the stitching line and sew into place.
• Alternately stitch circles together at the edge, about 1” from top and bottom.
