1 honey bun of your choice (featured is “Swanky” but another cute softer option would be aviary by 3 sisters) *1 package of piping (6yards) I used Wrights 12/32″ cotton filler cord *and 39 inches of smaller piping (for handle) I used Writes 6/32″ cotton filler cord (comes in a package of 10 yards) *my needle was a regular ‘ol needle (but make sure you have a THIMBLE, it’s murder on the finger without!)
*and I used “Mettler” cotton silk finished thread (it’s sturdy) if you don’t that have just use quilting thread or sturdy thread. when you unravel your honey bun separate colors. start by sewing together 4 strips alternating colors randomly (I cut mine in half ,at the fold, because I wanted a more scrappy look but you can keep your strips full length). once you have 4 strips together fold in half and sew onto your thick piping.
