Step-by-Step Instructions - Patchwork Star Table Decoration or Tree Skirt - Page 3 Material List for this Patchwork Star: - Christmas fabric scraps that look well together - enough matching fabric for the back side of the star - fusible interfacing with printed quilters grid (in 60° angle rhombus grid) - matching sewing thread - quilter’s ruler - scissors - permanent marking pen or pencil - basic sewing supplies Time required: about 2-3 hours Difficulty Level: Requires some patchwork sewing experience Sew all pieces with a 1/4” or 7mm seam allowance.   21. Sew now 5 more pieces as shown in the previous steps. When finished you will have 6 pieces. 22. Place the first 2 pieces with right sides facing each other. Match the middles. Sew along the side line from the middle to the side. 23. After sewing, cut the small center point away or it will get too thick with each new addition. 24. Trim the excess seam allowance after each  new added piece. This prevents bulking. 25. With right sides facing again, sew the third piece on to the second. This is how it looks when finished. Now sew the other three pieces to each other so that you now have 2 star halves. 26. Position now each half with right sides facing over each other, matching the middles. Pin together and sew together. 27. This is now how the star looks. 28. Cut 6 same size rhombus shapes out of your back side fabric and first sew the first three together and then the second three pieces. As before, match the 2 half stars and sew together.   Finishing: Now place the back side of the star on the first side (patchwork side) with right sides facing. Leaving a side open for turning, sew the 2 stars together. Turn the star inside out so that you are on the right side. Hand sew the open edge together and press with an iron using a steam setting.   <<< Back to Project Details and Picture     Home Advent Calendars Angels Basic Christmas Crafts Christmas Around the World Christmas Cards Christmas Carols Christmas Coloring Book Pages Christmas Freebies Christmas Games and Puzzles Christmas in Germany Christmas Recipes Christmas Stories and Poems Christmas Trees Crochet and Knitting Cross Stitch Crafts Decorating Ideas Fabric Crafts Floral Craft Ideas German Christmas Crafts Gift Wrapping Ideas Gingerbread Men Handmade Gifts to Craft and Sew Kids Christmas Crafts Paper Crafts Patchwork & Quilting Reindeer Crafts Santa Crafts Scrapbook Layouts Snowflakes Snowman Crafts Stars Stockings Tags Tree Ornaments Wood Crafts Wreaths             Copyright: If you would like to share Christmas-Projects.com crafts or recipes, please read here before doing so.
