Planning- get together fabrics that you like.Think about your design.Mine was red and purple.The red object with square sequins is a pin which I included in this project.The plastic is 9 X 12 inches and I used it to play around with placement.I use digital photography to help me remember what my options where.
Fuse or stitch the shapes.
Once the front is finished it make a sandwich front batting and backing
Tidy pin and tack edges
Final top stitching .I do this face down.I'm tend to leave the top edge open so I can put an old knitting needle through as a hanger-but thin straws work just as well!!
Finished hanger.
