Showing posts with the label what to make with scrap fabric

A bit too early.....Nah!

Ya know what? A coffee cup can used for more things than coffee. How 'bout using for the perfect circle size for a little scalloped bunting? Now I know that for some of you, it's too earlier to break out the Christmas cheer, but I couldn't help myself! There was just something about that vintage Santa Claus fabric that kept smiling at me each time I worked a different project! Anyways... here's how simple it was to make! Gather some color coordinated fabric, a washable marker, double folded bias tape, & your favorite coffee cup! On the wrong side of the fabric, trace some circles using your coffee cup. I did two a time by folding my fabric in half, tracing, pinning, then cutting. Take those perfect circles to the chopping block one more time. I love these handy little grids. I took off 1 inch to create my flat side. Sew them together. Now...this part is not a must, but it does make for nicer, 'smoother' half scallops...
