Directions:

  • Make pattern from chart, allowing each square to equal one inch.
  • Center one petal over the other two. Gather all three across top until measurement is about 15 inches and add to waist band.
  • Trace a pansy on lower portion of each petal and embroider in natural colors.

*Note: The directions don’t mention finishing the raw edges of each petal but I would do so with a narrow hem before attaching to the waistband, you could also add an extra bit for seam allowance before cutting.

Here is the embroidery pattern for the pansies:
