This version is great for a "take it and make it". Also, one note I skipped is after you do the running stitch and pull up, thread your needle across the back a few times, in a zig zag from one side to the other, just to reinforce holding the fabric in place.Colleen MacKinnon; Penny Rugs and Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01823396382633982306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713302929074247099.post-88121876469542532182013-08-14T06:58:05.017-07:002013-08-14T06:58:05.017-07:00Interesting to see how you make yours.

I am a little different because I actually sew my inner and outer layers together leaving an opening to insert a cardboard template then stitching the opening closed. Like how you did yours by drawing up the outer stitches. I will have to try that. I am still making them in all sizes, in different materials and different techniques. These are called beechnuts by my family. I have my great grandmothers original one!<br />They are addictive once you start making them!

The inner three are the liners and please trim them a scant 1/8" before covering with fabric. They will be slighty smaller for ease of joining the sides.
