Fruity towel topper. A new member is asking for instructions in the Q&A section. Can anyone help her?

I've stitched this one out to work out how it is done, but I have put mine in the middle of the side of the towel rather than the corner. (Can't bear asymmetrical hanging!) I've added extra fabric under the top part of the design. I can't see how the stitching on the leaves is supported otherwise.

Lovely job, I like the middle hang also.

Very nice!

I would look stuff up on the internet, but not actually try to sew out something to figure out an answer to someone's question. You should get a bunch of flowers for the great job and the extra mile you went!

I downloaded it too and had a look. I would not dare stitch the leaves without some fabric on top first, maybe the colour of the towel, and treat it as a double appliqué.
Nice work!

I used a bit of bump interfacing - it did the trick!
