Ingredients
- 1/2 yard Fabric A
- 2 scraps Fabric B at least 7" x 7" each
- 2 scraps insulated batting at least 7" x 7" each
- Trim optional
- Coordinating thread
- A "round something" that's about 7" wide to use as a template
Instructions
- Note: All seam allowances are 1/2".
- Cut the following pieces:Fabric A: 7" x 30" (cut 2)Fabric B: 7" x 7" (cut 2)Insulbrite: 7" x 7" (cut 2)Trim: 2 pieces, 7" long (cut 2, optional)
- Using an 7" round-something like a plastic plate, cut a curved end on both ends of both pieces of Fabric A, and one end of each piece of Fabric B and the Insulbrite. You can either trace on the fabric and cut with regular scissors, or use your rotary cutter.
- For Fabric B, hem the straight edge, using a 1/2" hem. If you'd like, sew on some cute trim, like these pom poms.
- Stack the fabrics as follows: 1 piece of Insulbrite on each end, first piece of Fabric A right side up, Fabric B right side up on each end, second piece of Fabric A, right side down. Pin everything together.Sew all the way around the edge, leaving a 3" gap for turning along the long edge of Fabric A.Clip the curves so that they'll lie flat.
- Turn the entire thing right-side out. Press the edges so that everything lies flat.Topstitch 1/8" around the edge, closing your turning gap within the topstitch.
- And that's it! You have a fun neighborhood gift. Including a Hearty Chicken Bake or one of your favorite casseroles would be a nice touch as well. Bon Appétit!
