Project Tuesday - key fob kit

Something a bit different to wet your sewing buds.  I have used this fun little technique to make a bag charm - but  you can use the same trick with all sorts of fabrics to make decals and hangers - detail to add to bunting - make tiny ones in Christmas fabric to add to the tree.  The method is below - and on my website - the complete kits are in the shop - while they last

	You will need: 8” x 8” patterned fabric 8” x 8” contrast fabric 1 x fancy button 1 x key ring or bag fob Thread sharp needle Pins Short piece of ribbon
	1 – cut a 7” diameter circle from each of the patterned and contrast fabric. 2 – with the right sides together- ¼” in from the outer edge stitch around the circles – leaving a 2” gap to turn. 3 – before turning – clip around the curved raw edges to help it sit flat. 4 – turn fabric right side out and press well. 5 – top stitch around close to the edge all around the circle to close the gap.
	6 – with the contrast side on the inside – fold the circle in half and mark the edge crease with a pin or pencil. - fold these marks together and mark the edge crease with a pin or pencil. 7 – bring 2 opposite marks together and over sew a couple of times to join – do not break the thread.  Place the join in the centre of the circle.
	8 – bring in one of the other marks to the centre – and over sew a couple of times - bring in the last mark and secure to the centre.  Do not break the thread.
	9 – open up each petal in turn so that it sits flat and fold the point over the base corner into a ‘collar’ shape. 10 – Add a fancy button to the centre. 11 – loop the ribbon through the fob and sew on to the inside of one of the corner.
