ASG March Demo - Easter Egg

 

Front of Peep Easter Egg

      At out March ASG meeting, Ellen demo'd an Easter egg ornament she had made.  She talked about how she started with sewing a pattern, but felt the curves weren't smooth enough.  She then used her software and digitized the ornament.  First you hoop a tearaway stabilizer, stitch the first outline, place the front fabric, stitch it down, do the bunny appliqué design, Then place a ribbon at the top with the loop facing in, add the two folded back pieces and stitch one more time around.  Remove from the hoop, tearaway the stabilizer, trim close to the edges (I used my pinking shears) and turn right side out through the overlapped back pieces.  Give it a press and you are done.  I added a piece on the back before the final outline stitch as I wanted to have a pretty inside.  Thanks Ellen for the demo and design.
