Felt Leaf Sewing Project
lightly trace template onto felt
lightly dot a basic plan for veins
knot floss and begin (leaving knot on the wrong side)
keeping floss to the left, begin stitching
always with floss to the left, overlap your stitches a bit if you like
this first twisted vein is ready to end
use the wrong side to “jump” to a new spot to continue veins
I chose for my side veins to never cross over the central one
the wrong side will look ugly and that’s okay
veins complete! Maybe do the same for the second leaf so when we sew the 2 sides together, they will both have veins.
No one will ever see this because it will be between the 2 pretty layers of felt
knot some twine to form a small loop for hanging your leaf on a garland if you like
hot glue the twine loop to the wrong side of one of your felt leaves
begin blanket stitch: form knot and keep it on the wrong side of felt leaf
keeping floss to the left, make a second stitch in the same hole (or close to it)
always keeping floss to the left, make stitches around the edge
this will cause the floss to frame the outside edge of felt leaf
finished project should look something like this
