-- leaving a small gap at one end. Use this to stuff the draught excluder (once you've turned it the right way round, of course) then sew it up with a few small, neat stitches.Choose a backing fabric to complement the colours of the flowers Now grow your own flowers in all sorts of fabric: The beauty of this flower design is that it looks great in colourful felts, but it could work with so many other fabrics and on so many other items. We chose felt for this draught excluder because it's quite hard-wearing, but if you wanted to echo the motif on, say, some cushions, you could try layering up lightweight cottons or even silks to make the flowers. Cut out several layers of each size of the flower template to build up an almost rose-like fabric bloom. If you're feeling more ambitious, use the flower template to add pretty, hippy detail to a skirt or dress. Use contrasting cotton fabrics to create the flower, and sew around the edges of each layer with small blanket stitches to secure it. Blooming marvellous!
