I posted this Craft and Tell for the car race track but thought I would share the how-to if you want to make your very own. If you make one, please leave a comment with your link on how it turned out so I can come and see.
- Prepare main piece of material (I used 1 meter by 1 meter) for both front and back pieces
- Cut six squares for the car parking pockets (I did mine 6 inches squared each)
- Press all four edges 1/4 inch. Cut the corners on an angle. Sew straight stitch on all four edges
- Cut 3 1/2 by 3 inches squares for the numbers. Iron on fusible interfacing. Draw numbers in pencil and cut out. Sew with an applique stitch to square
- Sew pockets to main material
- Measure roads. Pin to fabric where you want it. Sew onto main piece
- Measure dashes in coloured fabric. Cut, pin then sew where desired
- Add applique designs if you are going to sew them on and want them to stay in one space. I'm making mine moveable so I will put them together after the track is finished.
- Sew the front and back large pieces together
- Sew bias tape to finish the edges. You can combine steps 9 and 10 to one step if you want
