On the white bases for "Fiesta" Muffs, arrange the colored posy's in the same way—1 of each color and 1 of white.
Arrange the five posy's as desired, to fit around the top of each muff. Tack five together into a straight row. Use fairly strong sewing thread, and work from the back with neat over and over stitches, going through the second dc of a petal on each side of flower.
Before Joining end of row to form circle, lay on padded board and steam with a wet cloth and hot iron—then press through a dry cloth until perfectly dry.
Tack ends, to form a ring and with both wrong-side out, sew a petal of each flower between scallops on top of muff. Tack the scallops up to joined petals of flowers.
