Once you have stitched all the designs to make up the wall hanging, mark a line down the centre of the background fabric you will be using to place all the designs.

Place on the background fabric the designs as pictured above

Pin your designs down to the background fabric making sure your measurements are correct.

Once you have pinned down all the designs and happy with the correct placement of all the designs, glue each design to the background fabric.

As you can see each design has been glued down to the background fabric. Leave the glue to dry completely before you stitch the designs to the background fabric.

Please note: I forgot to mirror some of the designs, too much of a hurry 🙂 please do not make the same mistake as I did.

Zigzag stitch each design down.

Straight stitch in the centre of each path way to hold the wadding and background fabric together.

Stitch along the edges of the wall hanging the pale cream piping.

Stitch down the olive green braid next to the piping.

On the back of the wall hanging hand stitch a bias binding over the ragged edges of the piping or if you are not that fussed about the back you can leave it.
