Cut Fabrics
To make the best use of your fabrics, cut the pieces in the order that follows. (Download PDF for patterns) To use fusible web for appliquéing, as was done in this project, complete the following steps. For instructions on how to dye the yellow rickrack, click here.
1. Lay the fusible web, paper side up, over the patterns. Use a pencil to trace each pattern the number of times indicated in the following cutting instructions, leaving 1/2" between tracings. Cut out each fusible-web piece roughly 1/4" outside the traced lines.
2. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, press the fusible-web shapes onto wrong side of designated fabrics; let cool. Cut out the fabric shapes on the drawn lines. Peel off the paper backings.
