CLICK HERE
to download the cutting guide
And cut all of your
interfacing and fabric pieces.
You will need to cut a
1" wide strip about 8" long
to prepare a 5" long piece
for the mug trim.
Use the 1/2" bias tape maker
for the trim.
***NOTE***
Preparing the 1/4" bias strip
for the mug handle
is a little different
because it needs to be bendy!
That means you will need to
cut the strip on the bias ...
otherwise it will NOT curve
to form the handle.
Start by cutting a
4" square of the fabric.
Cut it in half on the diagonal
from corner to corner...
and then cut a strip
5/8" wide like this.
Use the 1/4" size bias tape maker
and prepare the strip just like
I showed you in the video on week one.
I cut a 2" and a 1 1/2" square
from the
leftovers and added them
to my
scrappy stash for use
at another time:)
Because I cut it on the bias...
It will easily form a
curve that you can press!
Trace your mug and marshmallow
shapes onto your interfacing.
Before you sew the interfacing
onto the mug piece...
measure 1 1/4" down from the
top edge and place your bias trim.
Machine or hand stitch
into place using matching thread:)
Now sew your interfacing and fabric
pieces together on your
marked lines and trim.
Cut the interfacing for turning.
Use your Clover turning tool
to get smooth edges after turning.
Press.
Place your mug
1" in from the left side...
And 3/4" up from the bottom.
Pin the mug into place and then
tuck the edges of
the handle underneath...
3/4" from the edge.
Trace your embroidery pattern
and pin your marshmallows.
I used 6 strands of my
Aurifloss
and a backstitch for the embroidery.
I trimmed my block to 6 1/2" square
and added the inner border using
the pink and mint little bells print.
And added my scrappy happy pieced border:)
Now I want some cocoa!
Don't forget to share your block on
Instagram!
Next week we can finish row 3:)
