Sprout Assembly
For full tutorial on the assembly please see the video.
Weave in the ends from your magic ring starts - attach leaves with the right side facing outwards.
In brief: Pin leaves into place around the sprout - starting with the back leaf first. Line up bottom of leaf with the base of the sprout with the face facing forwards. Sew approimately 3 - 5 stitches in a straight line then stitch up the sides to suit how you want your back leaf to look.
Pin on the side leaves, lining up the bottom of the leaves roughly in line with the mouth at the base of the sprout. This will form a bottom so your sprout can sit unaided. Sew approimately 3 - 5 stitches in a straight line then stitch up the sides to suit how you want your side leaves to look.
Once you are happy with your leaves, weave in the ends and your sprout is finished!
