TUTORIAL: Softie Ruler to add-on to your Softie Tool Set collection!
Handy tip: Make sure you put the tape measure ribbon on the right way - it is upside down on mine - just to make sure, look at a real ruler while you are doing it!
Step One: Gather your materials
This is to make a finished product approximately 20cm long. You can of course increase the length to whatever length ruler you like!
Step Two: Sew on the tape measure ribbon (the right way!) leaving a 1/4 inch gap to the bottom of the fabric
Step Three: Prepare materials for main construction, fold right sides together, place wadding on top and pin it down one length and one short end.
Step Four: Sew with a 1/4 inch seam allowance down one length and one short side, trim the corners of the sewn short ends being careful not to chop into the stitching.
Step Five: Turn right side out, poke the corners out gently
Step Six: Turn under the open end 1/4 inch and pin closed the opening. Handsew closed (or machine close if you prefer). Give your ruler a quick iron, being careful to avoid any satin/polyester ribbons/labels and all finished!
