Most of the people already started to decorate their homes with pretty Easter stuff: cute bunnies, little chicken and Easter eggs. But I don’t feel like bunnies and Easter eggs right now and so I want to show you how to sew clouds for your Easter flower bouquet.
Lets’s geht started!
1
Cut out the cloud pattern and pin it on the fabric you like and cut along the pattern – put the fabric double so the front and the back will be even. No additional seam allowance necessary.
2
Later we will close the cloud by hand with the so called mattress stitch – and to do this we have to spare a part that we won’t sew together with the machine. This part you have to neaten on the front and the backside with a zigzag stitch.
3
Pin the front and the back of your cloud fabric together (inside out of course) and sew it together with a straight stitch. Don’t forget the leave the neatened space open.
4
Turn inside out.
5
Fill the cloud will wadding. I usually to do this with a chopstick.
6
Close the cloud with the mattress stitch.
7
Do it nice and easy and don’t pull the thread too strong.
8
This is how it should look like.
9
Finally you stick the needle a last time deep into your cloud, pull it out...
10
... cut the thread. And that’s it already!

I hope you enjoy sewing many, many cute clouds :-)
