If you are going to decorate your centre Shape do so at this stage.
1. After cutting out the two shapes onto template plastic, cut the fabric out.
3. Lay the large shape rightside down onto surface.
4. Lay decorated small shape wrongside onto the large shape.
5. Start pinning the edges over by turning 1/4 inch over then over 1/4 inch again and pin into place.
6. Turn all the edges over and pin into place.
7. Using contrasting thread to match the large shape and stitch the edge with a hemming/invisible stitch all the way around the hem edge.
8. Lightly press the shape.
