Directions to sew the Easter Carrot Treat Bags
- Place fabrics right sides together (RST).
- Looking at the top of the fabric, measure 1″ in from both sides.
- Then find the middle of the bottom and trace a V using these marks.
- Take a toilet paper tube and place it on one side of the V, about 1/3 down and make marks where the tube meets the line.
- Trace around the tube to create a scallop. Using these marks, continue tracing scallops on both sides of the V.
- Pin fabrics and cut around scallops.
- Sew down the scallops with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Sew slow, lifting the presser foot, slightly turning the fabric and pivoting as needed.
- Cut notches in scallops then trim the notches off a bit. Make sure you don’t cut or trim through the seam.
- Turn carrot right side out (RSO), gently pushing the scallops out with your fingers or a blunt tool then press.
- Turn the top edges in, press and sew down, all around the top of the carrot
- Using your chalk and a ruler, trace another V, inside the scallops and sew down.
