Hazel says it’s the perfect project to use fun scraps of fabric you’ve been saving.

This is a great pattern for using up a few scraps of the same color, scraps from a favorite designer (mine are all from Precious Petites by Gerri Robinson for Riley Blake Designs) or even scraps in an entire rainbow of colors. You can use large or small scraps of fabric.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Print and cut the template. Trace onto the patchwork fabric and cut 6 pieces.

2. Sew Sections Together

With right sides together, sew 2 pieces along one curved edge. Open. Repeat with the next wedge section. You now have three wedges sewn together. It should resemble half of a ball. Repeat this process with the other three wedges. Now you should have two half balls.
