Some have asked me how to do it. I know there are more qualified members than me to explain. I chose the 2 fabrics and cut them the same size. The top fabric I put over the pattern, over a box light and traced the lines of the pattern. I then basted the top fabric to the bottom fabric. I chose to cut as I go so just cut so far at a time turning under the fabric as I go, hand appliquing. It will show you the fabric you keep and what is cut away as you go. Hope this is clearer than mud. Trust me, it is not that hard. I was intimidated at first and I know mine is not perfect but just love trying. Don't be afraid. GO FOR IT!!!!
