and the templates are right here.

Note,,, this is not my own pattern, I was just showing you how it is made and I did forget to tell you it is a good idea to use a topstitch needle in your machine because you will be sewing through several thicknesses of fabric with the points. Have a gerat day, Huggies, Fay
