This wrap started with the fern embroidery which is machine stitched and was acquired as a left over from someone else project. I chose a moss green linen for the base fabric and some green flannel as the middle layer. I pinned the embroidery until I was happy but there was not much choice because I did not want the braid in the side seam. I sewed the fern pieces on to the linen & flannel then placed it right side together with the lining fabric which is a leaf pattern polyester fabric. Stitched all the way around leave a gap to turn the piece right side out. I trimmed the 4 corners then turned it. I pressed it then sewed my curvy top stitching all the way around. I then wrapped it around the bottle I had chosen and determined where the side seam would be. Sewed the side seam creating the flap which in this case are the same size. This makes it identical either way it is placed on the vase/bottle.
The bottle I used for this wrap is a bit shorter then the others and a bit bigger in circumference.
The fabric layers were cut 7" T x 12" W to give me a finished piece which is 6.5"T x 11.5" W using .25 inch seams.
