The kids wanted them long, so I bought some cheap, plain red fabric to back the panel pieces.
I must say nothing could be simpler than following instructions that are printed on the panel of fabric!
I didn't use interfacing, but joined each piece to a backing piece and turned the seam to the inside.
I used a roll of red bias binding that I bought at a craft fair to join them together.
They looked really jolly spread all over the floor of the sewing room.
I figured my Canberra daughter might like some too, so nipped out and bought another panel.
I put ours up this week. Understated but festive, I think!
