The Teacup & Saucer Travel Caddy A Lady Montana Design                   Please note: This pattern assumes a basic level of sewing skills.                                  A rotary cutting system is helpful as there are no                                   pattern pieces.             Time: Roughly 1 hour & 15 minutes       Materials 1 yard calico 1/2 yard Warm n' Natural™ 1 yard of 5/16" wide velvet ribbon 3/4 yard of 1/8" wide cording 6 3/4" buttons Compass for drawing circles Liquid Stitch™         Cutting Directions From your calico cut: 1. 2  10.5" circles 2. 1 rectangle measuring 15" wide x 18" long for bag 3. 2 rectangles measuring 10" wide x 8" long for ruffles From your Warm n' Natural cut: 1. 1 10.5" circle 2. 1 rectangle measuring 15" wide x 8.5" long      Creating the Base   1. Fold one fabric circle in half and lightly press.   2. Open the circle and fold in half the opposite way. Lightly press. Open       the circle. You've created an X on your open circle.   3. Cut 6 ribbon sections, each measuring 2.25" long.   4. Fold one of your ribbon pieces in half, wrong sides together.   5. With your circle open, pin the folded ribbon to the right side at one of       the fold lines so that all raw edges meet. However, slightly stagger the       sides of the ribbon so they do not  lie completely on top of one another.       This will allow your button to sit nicely once completed.   6. Repeat step 5, but place this second ribbon on the opposite end of the       same fold line.   7. Repeat step 5, but place this third ribbon 1/2 way between the first       ribbon and the second pressed fold. You are not placing this third       ribbon directly on the second fold line.   8. Repeat step 8 with the remaining three ribbon sections.   9. Right sides together, pin both circles to one another. Place the Warm n'        Natural circle on top and pin. Stitch all three layers together 1/4" from       the raw, leaving an open section so you can turn the circle. 10. Trim the edges and notch the circle. Turn. Hand stitch opening closed.       Lightly press.      Creating the Bag   1. Place your fabric rectangle wrong side up with one of the short sides       closest to you. Place the Warm n' Natural™ on the bottom half of your       fabric rectangle, 1/4" from the fabric's raw edge. The short sides of the       Warm n' Natural™ should align with the raw edges of the rectangle's       long sides. Stitch each side.   2. Turn the bottom edge of the fabric rectangle to wards the Warm n'       Natural™ 1/4" and lightly press.   3. Turn the opposite short side 1/4" and lightly press.   4. Right sides together, pin the long side of your fabric rectangle in half.       Stitch along the entire length, catching each 1/4" pressed fold. Press       the seam open.   5. Fold this tube in half, wrong sides together. Pin the turned edges       together and run a gathering stitch 1/8" from the edge. Do not yet       gather.      Creating the Ruffle   1. Turn each short end of one ruffle section under 1/4" and lightly       press.   2. Fold the long end of this ruffle section in half, right sides together.       Place a pin on each side 13/8" from each raw edge.   3. Stitch from the fold to the pin on each side.   4. Turn and press each seam open.   5. Machine stitch 1/8" from the pressed seam along each of the four 13/8"       open lengths.   6. Stitch across the ruffle 13/8" from the 1/4" pressed fold.   7. Center this ruffle along one side of the bag so that one pressed fold is       one side of the bag and the second is on the opposite side. Baste and       then machine stitch 1/8" from the fold.   8. Repeat the above with the second ruffle section.      Finishing   1. Gather the bottom of the bag as tightly as possible and tie off.   2. Run cording through the casing. Knot each end of the cording. Cut the       remaining end close to the knot. Dab Liquid Stitch™ onto each knot and       allow to dry.   3. Stitch one button to the bag at the seam line, 31/2" below the top of the       bag. Stitch the second button in the same place on the opposite side of       the bag. It will then be easy to attach the remaining four buttons in their       proper position.   4. Cut two lengths of velvet ribbon, each measuring 7.25". Turn the end of       each under 1/4" and secure with Liquid Stitch. Carefully place Liquid       Stitch along each lengths back side before placing 1/8" from bottom       edge of each ruffle.   5. Slide your saucer into it's place under the bag and button it up.  Put your       cup in the bag, tie the drawstring into a bow, and head to tea.                    Please note that you may copy, print and create this design for personal use only.  It may not be made for resale.
