3. TO SEW CENTERS: Insert darning needle under 2 petals and draw yarn
through tightly, * bring yarn back over the last one of the 2 petals,
insert yarn under this petal and next petal and draw through tightly;
repeat from * until you have completed 3 rnds of sts around center. Make
20 daisies in Royal blue with Turquoise centers. These daisies are shown
with the back st center as the right side. Make 20 daisies in Turquoise
with Royal Blue centers, however on the Turquoise daisies the side
facing you as you sew the center will be used as the right side so be
sure to work all ends in neatly.
TO MAKE CIRCLE: With Olive Green, sc in end of petal (go through the 2
loops of petal), * ch 2, sc in next petal; repeat from * around, ending
ch 2, join with a sl st to first sc. Fasten off.
TO ASSEMBLE: Alternating the color of daisy, with Olive Green join each
daisy at one st with a sc (center it at the 6th and 12th petal) until 10
daisies are joined. Make 1 more strip of 10 in the same color
arrangement and 2 more strips of 10 in the alternate color arrangement.
Join the 4 strips tog in the same manner, making sure to alternate color
of daisy. From wrong side, fold in half and join side daisies leaving
the upper 2 rows free to be tacked to lining at opening. With wrong side
facing, sew Indian-Head tog with ¼″ seams, rounding corners at bottom
and leaving 3½″ open at each side. Assemble felt in the same manner,
leaving 4¼″ open at top. Cut press-on material to fit and press on to
felt. Fold felt 1″ at top edge to wrong side and machine st in place.
With wrong sides facing, slip Indian-Head into felt and blind st in
place (lining slightly smaller than felt). Pull daisies over felt and
tack at top of side seams and top of bag. Slip bars of handle through
top bands and fasten ends.
