On this vase wrap I used blue printed fabric scraps. For a change I sewed them on the diagonal to my flannel foundation fabric using the Quilt As You Go method. This takes more fabric so I had to find longer strips of fabric.
I trimmed the piece to 8.5" T x 11"W to allow more of a flap extending from the body of the wrap. I added a teal cotton poly fabric as the lining which is visible behind the lace. I sewed the collage piece and the lining right sides together leaving an opening, trimmed the corners and turned it right side out. I then used a curvy decorative stitch to top stitch all around the edge closing the opening at the same time.
Then, it was time to consider how to embellish this piece. I stitched a piece of lace on the lining edge folding the ends top and bottom and used the same curvy decorative stitch. I then place the wrap around the bottle vase, pinned it and then stitched it closed.
