Rusty Applique and Bag Pattern

Day of the Dead is a holiday observed in Mexico and the Catholic world, in which participants gather to honor, pray for and remember the deceased. Sugar skulls are left on gravestones to honor the return of a spirit, because it is believed that happy spirits will provide protection and good luck. With the sugar skull applique pattern you can honor your own loved ones by making felt sugar skulls in three sizes. The skulls look stunning on bags, aprons, pillows, table runners and skirts and are easy to make.
