  • Cut one out of fashion fabric
  • Cut one out of batting, trim in 1/4 to 1/2"
  • Position batting under fashion fabric.
  • Baste into place with a long running stitch. I do not recommend using any of the fusible webs if you are working with nylon.
  • Satin Stitch (a zig zag stitch which is sewn at a short stitch length) along the outer edge to enclose the raw edges.
  • Use a narrow zig zag stitch to stitch the inside line forming the bucket mouth.
