| Step 3) Using paper
template as a guide, cut out Piece #1. The left side and
top will be cut to size. However, cut 1/4" away from
the bottom of the template, resulting in a 1/4"
extension of fabric extending beyond the paper. See
Diagram IV and V.

Step 4)
Place assembled drawing on top of lightweight
interfacing. Using edge of assembled drawing as a guide,
draw a line on the interfacing around the perimeter of
the drawing. Set drawing aside. Remove freezer paper from
sky fabric. With right side up, place fabric along the
upper line previously drawn on the interfacing. Pin in
place. (Tip: Using fine, flat head, straight pins,
prevents distortion when working with the overlay.)
Keeping interfacing flat, baste fabric and interfacing
together along upper edge and right side. Pin lower edges
of sky in place. (Diagram VI) Do not applique edges.

Step 5) Repeat steps 1
and 2 for Piece 2. Referring to Diagram VII, press under
1/4" seam allowance along the top edge of Piece 2. Remove freezer
paper.
