Fabric Folding : Anyone would like to try?? (with tutorial)

Remember my first trial in making a flower fabric folding here?

And now, I try to share with you on how to do it...

What I did first is to try on paper folding, but off course, its a different material and need a different approach, but its good to do it on paper so that we know how was the end result suppose to be..

What we need is a paper, cut into square, one thing to remember, the end result is half of the original square, i.e. if we use 6 inch x 6 inch square, the end result will be 3x3 inch square.

One piece of square fold into 2, then open it..

Fold each  4 corners

Then terbalikkan.. fold the paper as in the picture

Repeat step 5, 6 & 7  for each 4 corners

Then buka lipatan bahagian bawah.. tadaaaaaa u will get this..

OK now.. lets do it on fabric..

I am using a 6 x 6 inch cutting here

Fold each corner and fastened with a pin (picture C)

Then terbalikkan fabrik dan tandakan titik tengah seperti picture D (sila perhatikan titik2 oren tuh yer)

Gunakan jarum dan benang cantumkan titik tengah tadi seperti gambar E

Then lipat fabrik ke bahagian dalam, seperti gambar F dan jelujur kasar

Tadaaa.. dah siap.. macam senang je kan.. Then bolehlah ianya di iron, bagi kemas skit

Now dah boleh lekatkan border... for this one I am trying a mitered corner hahaha.. what a waste of fabric but the result is awesome,

Then bolehlah buang jelujur tadi, jelujur keliling sahaja, bukan at the centre of it tau..

Bolehlah kelim cantik2 kelopak bunga anda yerrr

Hasilnyaaaaa...

Selamat mencuba yer.. and jangan lupa.. share your link with me...
