Scone holder Serve scones like Granny used to, in


a divided holder where each scone has its own place – for a short while.


Difficulty: easy Time: two hours


You will need 35cm crisp cotton fabric matching coloured machine thread 2 dress hooks


To make 1 Cut three circles of fabric each with a diameter of 31cm.


Finish the edge of each of the three fabric circles as follows: sew a line of stitches around the edge, 5mm in from the edge. Sew a second line of stitches 3mm in from the first line. (NOTE The foot has been removed from the machine for a better view.)


4 5


Sew a 3mm-wide satin stitch over the two lines of stitches.

6


Carefully cut away the excess fabric, cutting immediately next to the satin stitches.


7


Divide one fabric circle into six equal parts and mark them with pins. Pin this circle onto the second circle. At each of the six points, sew the layers together with a 1cm line of stitches.


8


Place this circle on the third one. Mark six points halfway between the points sewn in step 5. Fold back the top layer and sew a 1cm line of stitches through the second and third layers at each point.


9


On the top layer, mark three equally spaced points, halfway between the anchor points. At two of these sew a dress hook, immediately next to the edge.


At the third point sew a few stitches through the top layer only. Cast the stitches over with buttonhole stitch to form a neat buttonhole loop.


Draw both the hooks through the buttonhole loop to pull the edges of the scone holder together.
