Flower of the Week: Zigzag Flower

This week we are going to combine inner points and outer points to make this fun zigzag flower.

The first steps are tracing and cutting, of course.

Then clipping the inner points.

Now a little starch.

And a little pressing.

Just keep going until you're all the way around. The angle of these points is such that you do't have to tuck in the points like I usually do. If you find you need to tuck you point, you might need to add a smaller seam allowance.

Remove the template.

To put it all together I like to add an extra layer to prevent the black fabric from showing through. I just trace my circle template onto white solid.

And cut it out INSIDE the line.

Then just glue it to the back making sure it doesn't stick out (kinda looks like it is in this photo but it's not).

Then just glue it all together!

Check back Friday for Applique School Set 3!
