Stitch a wedding cake centrepiece
Cut two cardboard circles with a diameter of 10cm and 6.5cm. Use the larger template to cut a circle from both cream leaf print fabric and broderie anglaise. Cut a long strip measuring 8cm x 34cm from the cream fabric. Back each piece with iron-on interfacing.
Stitch mini pom pom trim 5mm in from the edge of the large broderie anglaise circle, on the right side of the fabric, and trim. Before you sew the cream strip to the white circle, snip notches along one long edge to help the fabric follow the curve as you turn it. Stitch right sides together and turn out. Overlap the ends and join by hand.
Fill with stuffing, taking care not to overstuff. Turn the raw edge of the large cream fabric circle in and hand stitch it to the base, stopping halfway to slip the cardboard template inside. Th
