Step 2Sew the first 2 pieces together
Here's the only trick to this project; start and stop sewing 1/4 inch away from the end of the fabric. This assumes a 1/4 inch seam allowance. If you use a different seam allowance, just stop that distance from each end. For example, if your seam allowance is 1/2 inch, start and stop 1/2 inch from the ends.
Ok, so to do this, stack your pieces of fabric good sides together with the edges lined up. You can see in the photo that I drew a line to show exactly where I needed to sew (this is just for the tutorial--you don't need to do this). Plant the needle 1/4 inch in from the edge and take a few stitches. Back stitch to lock the threads and continue stitching all the way across the project.
1/4 inch from the end, plant your needle and back stitch again.
