This extra thread is what you will use to close up the strawberry later.įilling and closing the fabric strawberry Before you sew, pull the top and bobbin thread out about 10 inches. Using your sewing machine (you can also hand sew this if you don’t have a sewing machine), follow along the line remembering to back stitch at the beginning and end. However, before you sew the straight line, you need to draw in a curve at the bottom to make it so the strawberry shape has a nice soft rounded tip, not a point. This will be your line to follow for sewing. On the straight edge open side, using a ruler, draw a line about 1/4″ in from the edge. Now fold that shape in half, keeping it with the wrong side of the fabric facing out. Next, following the line you just drew, cut out the semi-circle shape. With a fine tip pen, trace the template onto the fabric. You want to draw the strawberry pattern on the wrong side of the fabric. Starting with one of the strawberry templates, place it on a small piece of upside down fabric. Make sure you are printing the template at 100% to get the correct size. There are also two different leaf sizes which I used together for the leaves. They are very close in size, but the small differences make the strawberries either fatter or skinnier. I made four different sizes of strawberries. I would recommend printing them onto card stock to give the template some stiffness since you will probably be using them multiple times. The first thing you need to do is to print and cut out the templates for the strawberries and leaf patterns. If you have not seen it I highly recommend it!! 🙂 They are really easy to make, however they do take some time so I watched some episodes of my favorite show “Outlander” while I was making them.
