How to Make Scrappy Fall Leaves

Step 1:

Place the interfacing on your work surface.

Step 2:

Take your fabric scraps and place them on top of your interfacing covering everything. Press everything flat with an iron so they stick into the interfacing.

Step 3:

Cut the template, then place it on top of the fabric scrap. Pin it in place, then trace it with a pen. Once done tracing, remove the template. Draw a line from the tip to the step, then draw veins.

Step 4:

Start stitching the outer lines of the leaf. Once done, stitch the line from the tip to the step, then the veins.

Step 5:

Once you are done stitching all the lines, cut the excess fabrics and interface as close to the stitch lines as you can.
