With the 1 x 1 meter or 3.5 x 3.5 feet of white cotton backing fabric mark the centre

Print out in “Actual size” “Bright Flowers_01” and “Bright Flowers_02”

Mark the centre of your “Actual size” print out

Cut around the design

Place on the centre of the fabric “Bright Flowers_01” and “Bright Flowers_02”

I first of all place “Bright Flowers_02” first then place “Bright Flowers_01” under just slightly “Bright Flowers_02”

Place a pin through the centre of the print outs as to where you would like the flowers to be on the fabric and mark the fabric with either chalk or fabric marker pen

Place the hoop which is a 5 x 7 inch or 180 x 130 as close to the centre that you have marked

Stitch out “Flower_01”

Place the hoop as close to the centre as you can to stitch out “Bright Flower_02”

Repeat the process to the left of “Bright Flower_01 and 02” stitch out “Bright Flower_07 and 08”

Repeat the process to the right of “Bright Flower_01 and 02” stitch out “Bright Flower_09 and 10”

Repeat the process to the right of “Bright flower_09 and 10” stitch out “Bright Flower_05 and _06”

Repeat the process to the left of “Bright Flower_07 and 08” stitch out “Bright Flower_03 and 04” or if you find this all too confusing look at the photo 🙂

To place the bird, ladybeetle, cat and butterfly the following instructions may help

Print out “Actual size” for the bird and others

Mark the centre of the print out

Place the design where you would like it and put a pin through the centre of the print out

Mark on the fabric the centre of the bird using either chalk or a fabric marker pen

Stitch out Bird design

The photo shows how I placed the designs “Bright Flowers_11 through to 15” on the fabric

I used a fabric glue to place the square designs onto the background fabric, do not put too much glue on the squares just in the centre so you can easily move the squares till you get a perfect fit surrounding the centre designs

I did not glue down the bottom section fully as I need to put the fabric under the bottom layer of squares

Press the two fabrics

Pin the fabric down under the squares

Stitch the striped and polka dot fabric down to the background fabric

I suggest you zigzag the squares down using a zigzag width and length that is wide so you can easily cut the thread away in case there is a slippage, which sometimes can happen

Once you have zigzagged all the squares down and you are happy, stitch all the squares down using a satin stitch

Spray glue over the canvas board then lay the thick batting over the canvas board

Using a staple gun, staple the Wall Flowers to the back of the canvas board

Cover the back of the canvas board with some old sheeting or fabric

Using your staple gun, staple down venetian cord at each end of the canvas board to hang the canvas on the wall

You can see in the photo I have once again stitched in black thread, straight stitch which are the measurements for the front of the bag, this is where I will cut the fabric.

It might be best to check your measurements for the front of the bag once you have put the side panels and bottom panels together, as measurements can vary on what stabilizers you use and fabrics etc.

Front of the bag cut with scissors along the black thread straight stitch

Cut out “Stitch N Shape” the same size as the front of the bag.

Put under the front of the bag the “Stitch N Shape” zigzag stitch around the front of the bag.

After you stitched the zigzag stitch you then go over the zigzag stitch with a satin stitch

Using your zigzag stitch, stitch the two “Bag top_bot” together.

Stitch the two “Bag top front” together.

Stitch “Bag top_bot” to “Bag top front”

Stitch all 4 “Bag back” together

Stitch the two “Bag side” together for both sides

Stitch once side of the side panels to the back panel.

Use one of those magnetic clips for bag, I would have used one on this bag, but, for the life of me I do not know where I have put the magnetic clips

TIP
If you have any white thread or fabric showing you can always use a permanent marker to cover
