Step 1:
Apply interfacing to your material and cut out.
You will need one front piece and one back piece for each crown.
Step 2:
Take your hook tape (Velcro or similar) – approx.. 4cm (1 1/2”) and place on the left side of your front crown piece. (The hook part of the tape is the rough part).
Repeat with the loop tape (the soft part of the Velcro) on the left side of your back piece.
Step 3:
Place your two crown pieces right side facing and pin. Sew around the entire outside edge using a 1cm (3/8” seam).
At each corner go back and forwards a few times to strengthen the stitching.
Leave 7cm – 10cm unsewn along the bottom edge. Trim seam allowance and snip as far as you can into each point.
Step 4:
Turn your crown the right way out. Press.
Step 5:
Topstitch around the outside edge.
Hints and Tips
Leave the bottom edge completely unsewn and use bias binding to enclose the raw edges after turning.
You could try a fusible flex- foam instead of interfacing for a plush crown.
