How to Make Fabric Yo-Yos

A perennial favorite among quilters, a fabric yo-yo is a gathered circle secured with a simple running stitch. The cute designs can be used as accents on anything from clothes to lampshades or sewn together to make a quilt. To make, cut a circle about twice the size you want to end up with and follow these simple steps.

Begin to Stitch Fabric Yo-Yo

Fold under 1/4-inch of fabric. Thread a needle with sturdy 100-percent-cotton thread and knot the end. Take small, evenly spaced running stitches near the folded edge all the way around the circle. Bigger stitches will allow the fabric to gather more.
