Taggie Square Craziness

I cannot express how busy I have been this last week with making Taggie Squares for my church's annual harvest fest.

I know I have already posted the link to the tutorial and some other taggie ideas, but here's my "How to Mass Produce the Taggie Square" post.

First of all, set up your area:

Notice how I have the cutting board, pin cushion, scissors, materials, laptop with the tutorial pulled up and a Bumbo chair for my assistant (very important).

I went ahead and did everything in stages each night. Night one was cutting... I cut the ribbons, fabric squares and cereal bags.

Night two I assembled all of the squares and pinned them.

Night three I sewed all of the squares with right sides together.

Night four I turned all of the squares.

Night five I did all of the top stitching.

Final product:

I made 23 squares all together. I sent twenty to the church for the craft fair and held on to the three that I considered "extra."
