Discover four fabulously simple sewing projects by Kim Suleman from Six Penny Memories
Fat quarters are brilliant to have in the craft room. Not only do they come in countless colours and patterns, but they can be used in so many different ways. Kim Suleman’s four
handy projects for the home prove just how versatile fat quarters can be – yet with their complementary colours, these makes would be perfect bundled up as a gift for a friend! The simple patterns can either be sewn with a machine or by hand, so grab your needle and thread and get stitching!

freezer paper and cut out. Cut a fat quarter of Country Meadow fabric into two pieces and fold each one right sides together. Place the template on the fold of the fabric, iron in place and cut out. Repeat with the second piece of fabric. Use the template to cut out one shape 2from the fusible fleece.
To make the hanging loop, cut a 2.5” x 4” rectangle of fabric. Fold
the short side in half, right sides together, and sew down the long edge and one of the short edges. Using the turning set, turn through and press. Fold in half and lay onto the right side of one of the cosy pieces, matching raw edges. Pin in place.

sides together, pin and sew around the curved edge. Make a small hem along the bottom edge, press and top stitch in place. Cut out two pieces of lining fabric using the template and sew around the curved edge, leaving a gap for turning. Place the outer fabric inside the lining with the right sides together, and stitch around the bottom edge. Turn through the gap and press. Sew the gap closed and
top stitch around the bottom edge.
