Fabric Pieced Voilà Vase

The fabric pieced Voilà Vase is a dimensional "paper pieced" item. The result is a large flared vase with an optional topper that can be made to be removable or permanently stitched in place. This is a surprising simple project, so don't be scared away by the idea of the "3D-ness". If you have basic sewing experience and can handle fusible interfacing, you'll have success with this. As a bonus, the PDF includes a "how to" for making the templates for a smaller version of the vase.

This is a 34-page PDF, with over 60 photos to help you along. Full size templates are included.

Supplies Required:

• 1/3 yard or metre of quilting cotton for main fabric (with a non-directional print)
• 10” x 28” (26cm x 71cm) piece or a fat quarter of quilting cotton for contrast fabric (with a non-directional print)
• 18” x 20” (46cm x 51cm) piece of single or double-sided fusible Peltex (i.e., Pellon Peltex 71 or 72) to make the standard vase

FINISHED DIMENSIONS: With the topper, the vase is about 13” (33cm) high by 8" (20cm) wide, with a 4” (10cm) square base. Without the topper, it's 10” high (25.5cm).
