Materials:

  • Fabric (for inside and outside)
  • Iron-on interfacing

  • Sewing machine and supplies
     

Instructions:

  1. First and foremost, iron-on your interfacing on the wrong side of all of your fabric.

  2. Take a round item (I used a roll of packaging tape) and trace onto one of the edges of your fabric pieces.

  5. With the remaining lace, you can create a flower by creating pleats and had handsewing it on the fabric and adding a faux pearl bead on top.

  6. Place your fabrics right sides together (so the interfaced sides will be facing you). Sew them together with straight stitches leaving an area unsewn (2") so you can turn your piece later.
