How to make Harvest Quilted Leaves
These adorable country prim autumn leaves
can be used as a hot pad, or just to add decoration to your fall table.
Want to add some spice? Before you sew up the hole, add some whole
cloves. "mmmmmm," the scent of fall. |
|
For this project you will need: fall color fabric, quilt
batting, and basic sewing needs. |
|
 |
First draw your self a leaf on a piece of paper.
The one I drew is about 9" X 7". Pin and cut one layer of quilt batting
and two layers of fabric for each leaf. |
|
 |
Place the leaf batting down on a flat surface. Then
put one of the fabric leaves down with pretty sides up. Then put the
other fabric leaf pretty sides down, as shown in the photo to the left.
(The fabric leaves will be pretty sides together) |
|
 |
Stitch around the leaf using the pressure foot as your
guide. Leave an opening towards the bottom of your leaf large enough
to turn it pretty side out. When you are done sewing it, clip into the
curved areas as shown in the photo, being careful not to cut into your
stitching line. |
|
 |
Turn your leaf pretty side out. Poke out curves
and press the leaf flat. Hand stitch the opening closed. |
|
 |
Straight stitch the "veins" on your leaf
as shown in the photo. Cut all
hanging or loose threads. |
|
 |
Your autumn fabric leaves are done! Use can use them as
hot pads, decorations for your table, and more. If you would like
them to have a nice autumn scent, add a teaspoon of whole cloves before
you hand stitch it closed. |
