Fabric Star


I've been wanting to make a fabric star ever since I bought one last November in Finland. I was visiting my BFF in her hometown of Joensuu, Finland, and we went to a local arts and crafts event. There was a woman selling all kinds of cute crocheted and sewn items. I fell in love with her fabric stars. I bought one, and it has been hanging on my sewing room window ever since I got back. Here it is.



A few months ago, I found a  fabric star tutorial at Pinterest that had a great picture tutorial how to make one. It has sadly taken me that few months to think about how I'm going to put it together, and today I finally made it. It was SUPER easy. Now, I want to make hundreds of them. :) Watch out! You might be just getting one. 

Here is my fabric star





I'm thinking about sewing a button to the middle. I think it will look nicer just like the one I got from Finland. I just need to go and buy a pretty button.

    In the penultimate picture the star seems about to twirl and sing "Ta Da!" It is a joyful and beautiful start, Tiina!

    So pretty! I clicked on the link thinking my mom might enjoy making some for new baby's room when I realized it isn't in English (which ups the allure of the project, if you must know!). Did you serge the pieces together or sew? Did you keep to the measurements or increase them? Also, are you available to talk Suzanne off a ledge when she starts this and gets frustrated? :)
