Sew a Kids Valentine Chair Backer - Tutorial


These fun bags hang on the back of the kids' chair on Valentine's Day at breakfast or at school, filled with goodies! This tutorial, by Amy of "Our Scoop" is *very* well written. If you make one of these please post a photo!

what you need:

• 1/2 yard of Felt or exterior fabric. I used Wool/Felt.
• 1/2 yard of lining/interior fabric.
• 3/4 - 1 1/2 yards of Heavyweight Fusible Interfacing*
• Scrap Fabric or Fat Quarters for the heart and ruffle details.
Ric Rac
• 2-4 Buttons – 2 for the ruffle bag and 4 for the ric rac bag. I made my own to match using a Dritz cover button kit
FABRI-TAC optional but is very helpful to stabilize things
3/4" Velcro
