Tip
When
it comes to stitching your front and back circles together, make sure
your ruffles are pinned away from the raw edge to avoid stitching them
flat.
1) Tear your fabric
into three 10cm-wide strips, along the entire width. Cut two circles
from the remaining fabric, each measuring 32cm in diameter.
2) With right sides together, machine-stitch the three strips
into one long piece. Press the seams open, then fold the strip in half
along the length and press. Open out. Take one red fabric circle and match the
long edge of the fabric strip to the edge of the circle and pin.
3) Machine-stitch
along
the fold mark, turning the circle as you go, gathering the strip
slightly.
Keep stitching your way around the circle, working towards
the centre, matching the outer edge of the strip to the inner edge sewn
previously. Stop just before the centre and hand-stitch the remaining
strip to form a rosebud. Machine-stitch the second circle on
top of the
ruffled front, leaving a gap of 12cm. Turn the right way and fill.
Hand-stitch the opening closed.
