MAKING A CAKE

I told you I was having company and needed to make a cake....

well....this is what I did while it was baking last night..

I am sorry, I just can't help myself......you all know that I am weak!!

So many of you had questions and maybe this will help clear up some as well.

What you see here is the tumblers die...see how I marked it? Also....this is something I figured out...see the long piece of material that I pulled through the other side....this way, there is no cutting of fabrics (except for the loose strands after cutting)...so I just slip the extra piece of fabric under the roller....



I place the fabric as close to the cut out...



Now rolling it through... Notice that I have the die as far over as possible, this is to allow room for the fabric I am not cutting.




It has come out the other side...so I flip the material(the widest part) over to match the widest part of the tumbler...I pull the excess material through to the other side...and oh yes, there is a little space to do this...so I move my die as far over as possible to allow the excess fabric to fit nicely without bunching, as I mentioned before.



Here is the left over scraps..... I would like to mention that salvage is in there as well...I did not cut it off before I started.



I got 8 squares



36 tumblers out of a yard of fabric...



I think I am going to go and make muffins now!!


Well....I was able to cut out all the tumblers before company came.....and this is the end results after they left. Still needs borders...but hey....not to shabby for an evenings work.
