Make a simple star design that's so much easier than it looks!
About the project
A speedy make and a superb stashbuster too. You can whip up our versatile star design in no time – use them as coasters, hanging decorations, gift tags or make multiple and thread together to make a garland or bunting. We use a hexagon template in this project, but don't worry if you don't have one, we'll show you how to make your own in the video tutorial – it's super easy!What skill level is this sewing pattern?
This is a beginner-friendly 'quick make' and shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes to stitch!
Debbie's Top Tips
- If you're making these into coasters, add some heat-resistant wadding to the centre to keep it safe.
- Try making a tree decoration by tying a small loop of ribbon to one of the corners.
- You can add a star design onto the other side to make it a double-sided decoration.
- Hexagon template (optional)
- Ruler
- Scissors or rotary cutter
- Iron
- Best press (optional)
- Basting spray
- Sewing machine or needle and thread
- Two 3in (7.5cm) pieces of fabric for hexagon shapes for star and back
- Six 3.5in x 3.5in (9cm x 9cm) squares of fabric
- Three pieces of wadding for the hexagons
- 20in (50.75cm) of 3/4in (2cm) bias binding
