1. Make a template the size you want your finished section of the plate, and add seam allowance to all four sides.
2. Cut the pieces for the plate.
3a. Fold the piece in half, and stitch accross the top, ¼” from the top.
3b. This is how they look chain pieced.
4. Turn the pieces innside- out, they will look like this.
5. Press them all, and you’ll have something looking like this.
6a. Piece the sections together in pairs, and the pairs into quarter plate sections...
6b. …then into halves
7a. Join the two halves together, and you are ready to press. Press the seams open.
7b. This is what itlooks like from the back.
8. Appliqué to background fabric, and appliqué a small circle to cover the hole in the centre.
FINISHED!!! Have fun!
