Fabric Cupcake Flags

October 14, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 16 Comments

We are thrilled to be guest posting today over at Whip Up with a tutorial on how to make some Fabric Cupcake Toppers. They are such a fun project to use up pretty fabric scraps and would work so well for lots of different occasions – high tea, birthdays, Christmas etc. 
Drop on over to Whip Up to get all the details. We were so pleased to contribute to the Guest Blogger Series – thanks Kathreen.

Thank you so much for the wonderful reception to t Thank you so much for the wonderful reception to the Quadra Pouch launch last week — I’m thrilled you’re loving this pattern as much as I do.Today I’m sharing a brand new Tilda version, stitched in the large size and made entirely from blenders. I used four Bellflower prints from the Wallflower range for the exterior, and four Stella prints from the Songbird collection for the lining — eight fabrics in total, making it delightfully scrappy.I love how easily Tilda collections mix and match, and how each corner of the pouch showcases a different print. The clever panel construction gives the pouch a neat flat base without boxed corners, and the result is both practical and beautifully structured.If you’d like to sew your own, the Quadra Pouch pattern is available in both my Pattern Store and Etsy Shop.Comment QUADRA and I’ll send the link straight to you.Pattern Details: Quadra Pouch (3 Sizes) - available in our Pattern Store and Etsy ShopFabric: Bellflower blenders and Stella blenders from Tilda, with thanks to @tilda_australia#tildafabrics #quadrapouch #sewingproject #scrapfriendlysewing #pouchpattern
