Let’s begin!

From ¼ yard tan fabric cut;

2- 2” x Width of fabric

1 – 2 ½” Width of fabric

From pie filling fabric cut:

1 – circle using the pie template

You'll use a ¼” seam thru out.

Pie lattice- Fold 2” strips in half lengthwise right sides together. Sew along raw edge a ¼” seam. Turn right side out to form a long WOF tube. Iron. Make 2.

From WOF tube cut:

2- 8” strips

4- 7 ½” strips

4- 6 ½” strips

Lay the 8” strips on top of the right side of the pie filling circle in a ‘plus sign’. Then add the 7 ½” strips to each side of the 8” strips weaving as you go.

Continue to weave the strips onto the top of the pie filling adding the 6 ½” strips to each side of the 7 ½” strips.

Pin the lattice in place along the edge.

Sew a scant ¼” seam along the pie filling/lattice edge.

Then trim away the excess fabric.

Ruffle Crust- Fold the 2 ½” x WOF strips in half lengthwise wrong side together to form a long WOF strip. Iron. Sew a scant ¼” basting thread along the raw edge of the strip, pull the threads to form a ruffle the length of the outside of the pie circle. Pin in place match the raw edge of the circle and the raw edge of the ruffle.
