Lei Making Instructions
Mark the edge of the lemon or pink ribbon at 1/2 inch intervals. Place the marked ribbon on top of the white ribbon, with the marked edge aligned with one edge of the white ribbon. Sew a 1/2 inch gathering sticth close to the edge. Be sure to sew through both ribbons.Push the end of your work down toward the knot, keep your work flat.
Facing the clamp, gather your work toward the clothespin and start forming the flower. Pinch both ribbons between your fingers, between each stitch, and push your work toward the clothespin, forming one petal at a time. When the ribbons get tangled just release the clothespin from the clamp and dangle it by the ribbons and they will untangle themselves. Reattach the clothespin to the clamp and start again.
