Raggy Topper Demonstration


Raggy Topper Demonstration
Sweetie Pies layered with tulle and jewels make these irresistible
Raggy Toppers a must have in your collection of hair bow accessories.
Also can be clipped on scarves and clothing to fully accessorize. Raggy Topper
hair bows are sold as a complete kit which include pattern, fabric, clips and
tulle to create eight unique hair bows.  Perfect for a little girls craft afternoon! 


First you start off with sweetie pie scallops
layering 4 large, 4 med, and one small on top. 

I used applique glue and put a small dot between each layer.



Then I tried another set sewing them together.  I actually preferred this method.
I used Aurofil Italian 50 wt thread in my machine.  This thread is SOOO NICE!!!!!  It is very fine
and silky.  Definitely worth a try if you have never used it before.


Then you snip every inch or so, making sure you don't snip through the center. 


Then immerse the entire flower in a bowl of water and lay it out to dry.  As soon
as it is almost dry fluff it in the dryer for a few minutes to rag it out.  Piece with your fingers
and fluff to your desired look.  Then spray some starch (or hairspray) to stiffen it (optional).



Use the applique glue and add your tulle and clip.



.....AND THERE WE HAVE IT!!!!

Candy Ribbon Quilt Demonstration


May's special is the Candy Ribbon quilt.  It is a fun fresh quilt that even beginners
can make.  It comes in 12 color combinations:
Candy Ribbon is sold as a full kit which includes all fabric (border, binding and
Snuggle (minky) backing), pattern and applique glue.


Here is the demo:

Cut Sweetie Pies in Half

Begin on one side first and place a small applique glue dot in the middle of the
half scallop lining the cut side up to the edge of the white fabric.  (Be sure not to
place the glue dot too close to the edge where you have to sew the seam).  Place the
next scallop touching the first, repeat until the entire row is complete.  Then start on
the opposite side, placing the first scallop halfway up.  I've only glued 2 down on the left
side on the for demonstration purposes.


Sew the 2 strips right side together.  For demonstration purposes I only sewed it halfway down.
Rows of color swirl together to create "Candy Ribbon".  Sew all your rows
together, add border, and send to machine quilter to finish (or you can do it yourself on your home machine).  I'm going to sew my candy ribbon on my home machine using a bright
colored thread and trace the flowers:)


Finished Product :)
