Another Fast and Easy Canada Day Project!

What can we make from the fabric above?

A Canada Day Candy Dish!

---

I'm showing it filled with gadgets but you could use it as a Candy Dish filled with "red" candies as well!

You will need:
2 complimentary 9" squares of fabric
1-9' square of thermore or fusible fleece
Thread to match

How to make it:
1) Place both pieces of fabric right sides together on top of the fleece

2) Pin if needed and sew all the way around leaving a 3" gap for turning.
3) Sew 1/4" around perimeter
4) Turn to the right side
5) Top stitch 1/8" from edge around the perimeter to & gap seam.
6) Lay fabric right side up in front of you, measure 2 3/4" from each corner of your fabric and place a chalk pencil mark at 2 3/4" away from each corner.

7) Fold the square wrong sides together matching the two marked spots on each side.  Draw a line on the right side of the fabric from the matched & marked points to the corner of the sewn square in the centre.  Sew on this line using a back tack stitch at the beginning and the end of this seam.  This will create the side wall flaps that stick out.

8) Repeat step 7- 3 times until your "Canada Day Candy Dish"  looks like the picture below:

Fill 'er up!  Happy Tuesday🍁
