Note: Read all the instructions
before starting the project.
Materials and instructions
are for all the components of
the set. It is recommended
that fabrics be 100% cotton,
pre-washed and well ironed.
Requirements are based on

fabric 107cm (42in) wide.
Anette used both hot pink
and orange solid fabrics to
coordinate with her pink and
orange paisley print feature
fabric. If your print fabric is
directional, take care to cut
the shapes so that the design
is facing the right way up
when the components are
assembled. Seam allowances
of^1 ⁄ 2 in are used throughout
unless otherwise stated.
Instructions are given for
using the printed Pattern
Sheet in the magazine, but you
