Liberty Print Patchwork Star Tutorial

Liberty Print Fabric 

Patchwork Star Decoration Tutorial

With Christmas fast approaching, 

now is the time to add those last little touches to your home!

I have made this 5 pointed patchwork star decoration 

using 5 different Liberty Print fabrics

Starting at the top clockwise; Florabunda,  Mitsi, Wiltshire, Capel & Hera

Taking your pattern piece cut 5 separate diamonds for the front

and then another 5 for the back

taking 2 pieces sew together and press open

leave a 1/4" unsewn in the centre of the star

do this on all seams

Join the next piece, press open

You will now have 3 joined together

I find it easier to press seams open as shown

so you don't get a bump

Taking the last 2 pieces sew these together

and press open

Now join these 2 sets together

and press open

Last seam, join and press

it may have a little bump in the middle but this will be hidden

once stuffed and buttons added!

Repeat the steps above for the other side

I use approx 25cm of ribbon, ric rac or string for the loop

with right sides of the stars together

insert the loop from where you want your top of the star to be.

 In between fabric with the cut edges hanging out, pin

Sew all edges together leaving a small opening,

I tend to leave the opening one one of the bottom edges.

Cut off the excess fabric on the tips

Turn right side out and fully stuff

slip stitch the opening closed

Find two cute buttons, and the longest needle you can find

I broke into my Pin Cushion Button Jar that I purchased in Liberty's!

Sew a couple of stitches pulling tight before sewing on a button on each side

Now you are finished!

I have been lucky enough to be featured in The Liberty's Blog on their website

with my Elf Stocking tutorial

Excited, its like Christmas came early!!

I would love for you to take a look

There are also other tutorials for you to try out.
