Remember the project I completed for BurdaStyle for Mother’s Day? They asked me to complete some modifications to make it work for your July 4th get together! You can see the full project tutorial and instructions with pictures on BurdaStyle here, here, and here! (Did I mention it’s a free pattern?)

July 4th Project

This project is along the same lines of stamping on napkins. I wanted a little more pattern on these ones.

Items needed:

1 fat quarter fabric (for those that aren’t quilters it’s where they take 1 yard of fabric and it cut into quarters)

StazOn ink

various colors embroidery floss

I cut out scraps of a neutral color fabric (thanks again Celia for the scraps!) I stamped the star from the Bough set and hand stitched around the image. I used a french knot at the star points, and a straight stitch for the outline. I used the water soluble pen to write “freedom” and “liberty” and then I free stitched those. I trimmed each one with pinking shears to be a 2 1/2″ square.

Then take your fat quarter of fabric and cut it into quarters. You should end up with pieces that are about 9″ x 10 1/2″. Hem the edges and then sew the “patches” we made on top.

You’re done!
