Materials are:
12" of theme print, width of fabric
18" of a corrdinating print, width of fabric
1. Cut fabric to size
2. Place right sides together. Stitch long edges 1/2" seam (I did 1/4")
3. Press seam away from center fabric
4. Turn. You now have a long tube.
5. Lay flat on ironing board and press so that the theme print is bordered evenly on long sides with coordinating print.
6. Trim short ends even. (You will be getting rid of the salvage.)
7. Fold fabric in half lengthwise with theme print out. Stitch seam on both short ends.
8. Press seams open and turn seams inside to form a point; press.
9. Stitch a decorative button or yo yo at the edge of short seam to secure in place.
I preferred to use a decorative stitch to secure the opening so there wouldn't be any gap. I also stitched in the ditch down the sides so that when it is washed there won't be a problem keeping the border even when ironed. This is so quick and easy, and great for special holiday fabrics.
