Pie Weaving Quiet Book Page

This one came together really easily.

For this Project you'll need:
a background page of felt (mine is 9 x 9 and white)
2 sheets of tan felt
1 sheet of red felt (or whatever filling color you choose)
pinking shears
scissors
sewing machine
hot glue gun




Step 1:  Cut out a circle with your filling color of felt.  Mine was 6.46 x 6.46 (I created a circle template in Word.

Step 2:  Cut a freehand crust, that will fit around the outer edge of your filling circle.

Step 3:  USING PINKING SHEARS, cut out six strips  - two long and 4 short (the long will be the diameter of the filling circle, then measure on your filling circle for the short pieces).

Step 4:  (Optional) I cut out little red circles - making it a cherry pie!  I think it adds a lot of dimension.

Step 5:  Sew everything together.  The filling to the background page.  Then pin your six strips under the crust and sew around the edge of the crust, using a zigzag stitch REMEMBER TO SEW ONLY ONE END OF THE STRIPS.

Step 6:  Hot glue embellishments to your filling.

This page introduces weaving to your child and is good practice of fine motor skills and logic.
