Make a coat hanger
Fold 10cm x 45cm of wadding in half lengthways and widthways, then snip a tiny hole in the centre. Slip the hole over the hook of a coat hanger and attach the wadding to the front and back of it with a glue stick or double-sided tape.
Cut 14cm x 60cm of Strawberry Fair print. Press a 1.5cm seam, turning along the top and bottom edges. Fold in half lengthways with right sides facing, and hem the two short ends by 6mm. Mark the centre front and back with pins.
Slip the fabric onto the hanger, matching the marker pins to the hook. Pin the folded front and back edges together from each corner to the hook. Sew together with small running stitches, from one end to the centre, and draw up the thread so it is the same length as half of the hanger. Gather up the fabric into pleats so it fits snugly over the wadding. Repeat for the other side.
Sew a lavender bag
Download the pattern and cut out. Cut one full heart and two back parts from Sunday Best print, making sure one back section is reversed. Pin the two backs together and sew along the centre seam, leaving the marked space unstitched. Press the seam allowance open.
