Watch the video below for full instructions.
when you’ve got the pattern, cut the fabrics.
The number of cutouts you need is indicated on the pattern.
Step 2:
Put the parts together alternating the first fabric and the contrast fabric.
The remaining six parts are for the second side.
Step 3:
Take one piece of each fabric, then place them right sides together.
Sew on one side of the longer diagonal.
Do the same for the remaining diamonds until you reach where you first started.
Step 4:
Press all seams in the same direction.
For the middle, open it and press.
Adjust the seams if it doesnt lay flat.
Step 5:
Place the heat resistance inlay on the bottom of the star.
Stitch in the ditch.
Take your time so you dont drift to the left or right.
Once done, trim off the excess inlay.
Repeat the same process from steps 3 to 4 for the back part.
Step 6:
Fold the loop in half lengthwise and iron to make a crease.
Next, fold the edges up into the middle, then iron again.
After that, fold it in half again.
Top stitch it along both edges.
Sew within the seam allowance.
Step 7:
Place the backside on top of the first one right sides together.
Align them, and mark an opening.
Sew except for the opening.
Trim off the tips just below the stitches, then cut small triangles on the corners.
Flip it right side out, flatten and sew the opening.
Lastly, top stitch the edges.
