Stack the following:

• Fabric 1 right side facing down
• Lightweight interfacing
• Fabric 2 right side facing up
• Paper with leaf drawing
  (functions also as stabilizer)

Use the same thread in the bobbin as for the top thread.

Stitch around the leaf and the stem with a satin stitch.

Stitch the leaf veins with a straight stitch or other decorative stitch of your choice.

Tear off the paper.

Cut out the leaf very close to the edge; at this point the interfacing won't be visible anymore. Take care not to cut into the threads.

You now have a leaf that looks finished from both sides.

Attach a ribbon and hang.
