This “Whatever the Weather” fabric is too cute!  I only have a few of these kits, so hurry over to the shop to get one today!

The exterior of this crayon folio is pieced together to make a cute unique look.  Although many of you may have done this type of piecing before, I thought I would share the simple technique herejsut in case help is needed.

Arrange the pieces on your work surface.  Your first step is to appliqué the weather girl piece onto the lattice fabric.

I use a small zig zag stitch and decrease the width between the stitches.  I like a loose look, but you may like a tighter stitch that looks more like a fram fro your girl.  You may want to experiment before sewing the pieces together.  The weather girl should be stitched 1.5” from the left side of the piece and 1.25”  from the base.

Next, sew the 2 ends to the center piece right sides together.  Press the seams toward the center piece.  See the photos below.

Finally, measure that your pieced together exterior with your interior solid piece.  The 2 should be equal.  If the exterior is a little shorter (up to .75”), simply trim the interior piece down to match.  The important factor is the width of the crayon art folio and the length can be adjusted without hurting the design.

Enjoy your sewing!
