Materials:
- Main fabric
- Lining fabric
- Rotary cutter
- Scissors
- Seam ripper
- Pins
- Sewing machine
- Needle and matching thread
- Ruler
- Marking pen or pencil
Directions:
Step 1
Cut 1 piece each of the exterior and lining fabric with an 8½”*12½” size. Stack the 2 fabrics together with their right sides facing, and the lining on top. Draw a line in every 4″, then draw a diagonal line from corner to corner on each box, and pin the fabrics together. Next, sew on both sides of the diagonal lines with a ¼” seam allowance. Cut along the lines, then trim off the excess fabric, some pieces will have the corners stitched, unpick the seam, then open the fabric up.

Step 2
Place the ruler at a 45-degree angle along the diagonal line, then trim the fabric square to 3½”*3½”. Cut 4 squares with a 3½”*3½” size in the lining fabric, then arrange the squares and form the star, pinning is optional but it helps with sewing accuracy. Sew the squares together with a chain stitch, and you’re all done! This has a finished size of 12″*12″.
