** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
First cut the Color 1 3-1/2" x 14" strip into four 3-1/2" squares for the top corners, and for the hat sides... |
|
Then cut the Color 1 1-1/2" x 5" strip into two 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" rectangles for the edges by the hat brim... |
|
Next, sew the Color 2 1-1/2" x 6-1/2" strip to the bottom of the Color 4 2-1/2" x 6-1/2" rectangle, using a scant 1/4" seam and pressing the seam allowances towards the hat top... |
|
Sew Color 3 squares to the sides of the hat unit... |
 |
Now put the hat piece you just made butting up to the piece of snowman fabric. Mark lightly on the wrong side little marks where the hat sides are, then lay a 6" plate on the snowman fabric (have it above the fabric between the two marks where the hat sides were) |
| Trace around the part of the plate still on the fabric, and then freehand in a basic short neck and snowman-ish type shoulders. Have the snowman body end about 2" in from the left side bottom, and 1-1/2" in from the right bottom of the snowman fabric. Cut this out about 1/8" wider all around than you drew it, to allow for turning the fabric under as you hand appliqué it on... on to Page 2! |
