Sew It!

Step 2. Finger press lavender texture and cream/lavender print 6" x 9" rectangles in half lengthwise and crosswise; use folds as placement guide. Position template fabrics in alphabetical order on lavender and cream/lavender 6" x 9" rectangles, centering and keeping inside 1/4" seam allowances (see Diagram I and photo). Following manufacturer's instructions, fuse in place. Machine or hand buttonhole stitch around appliqué using black thread (Diagram II).
