The Pattern Table

Projects at home | Scrunchie | Have a look at today’s story for a little something to keep you busy today.

You will need
+ Cardboard pattern 16cm x 62cm
+ Fabric scissors
+ 15cm elastic
+ Fabric
+ Tailors chalk (or pencil)
+ Safety Pin

1 Trace the pattern onto your fabric and cut.
2 Fold the fabric in half and stitch the long sides together, with the good sides on the inside. Use a 6mm seam allowance and leave 2cm at each end.
3 Turn out the right way, then stitch the ends together. Be careful here not to catch any of the underneath layers in the stitching.
4 Thread the elastic through using a safety pin, then tie the ends of the elastic into a knot.
5 Edgestitch up the gap, then continue the edgestitching all the way around, rolling the seam between your fingers so it sits flat.

While the rest of our workroom has closed, we will still be making and sending these face masks from our home. These masks come in four sizes - kids 3-7, kids 7-12, women’s and men’s. They are made from two layers of cotton t-shirting, with two layers of spun bonded polypropylene inside for extra protection. For those small ones who might not understand, they are a good safeguard to keep fingers out of mouths when out and about 🧡 Please email [email protected] if you wish to order. @ Auckland, New Zealand
