Materials:

• bundle of square fabrics
• scissors
• pen, for marking
• ruler
• pins
• iron, for pressing

Directions:

Step 1

Get two fabric squares and cut them into 6 x 6 inches in size. Draw a diagonal line and put the two squares’ right sides together. Pin them in place. Repeat this process and make a bunch of these. When you have enough, take them to the sewing machine and sew on both sides of the line you drew. After this, cut right through the drawn line. Press your half-square triangles open.
