Materials: fabric (no-fray fleece or felt), 12" of holiday ribbon
If you use felt, you'll need no seam allowances. Just cut as shown on the fold. Stitch or hot glue on the ribbon. Fasten with a scrapbooking brad or spot of double-sided tape and you're ready to pen sublime fiction and enjoy a bit of tea and cake.
Tomorrow, I will post a pattern for a superhero cape -- just as easy as this one.
