Stuffed
Decoration
Supplies
Needed:
Scrap of coordinating fabric
Fiberfill
10" length of 1/4 or 1/2 inch ribbon
Water soluble sewing marker
Thread to match
1 pkg. piping or 1/2 yard of 2 inch lace (optional)
Instructions:
Trim around stitched design in the same manner as for
the felt-backed decoration. Overcast edges of linen/aida.
Lay
stitched design, right sides together, on coordinating
fabric and trace around design with a water soluble
sewing marker. Cut out fabric along lines.
Pin
lace (or piping), right sides together, around outer
edges of stitched design. Stitch in place with a 1/4
inch seam.
Place
stitched design and coordinating fabric cut-out, right
sides together, being sure loose ends of lace are tucked
inside. Stitch around edges in a 1/2 inch seam, being
sure to leave an opening of about 3 inches somewhere
along the edge for turning.
Turn
right side out, pulling all edges out to seams.
Place
on towel, with stitched side of design face down and
iron flat.
With
fiberfill, stuff design to desired firmness.
Hand
stitch opening closed.
If
you would like to hang your stuffed decoration, cut
a 10 inch length of ribbon. Fold under raw edges of
ribbon and either stitch to top back center of decoration
or attach with a glue gun.
Your
stuffed decoration is now done.
