Lacing fabric over card

Lay the card on the wrong side of the cut fabric and fold the fabric firmly over the long sides of the card. Pin in place and, with strong thread, lace the fabric as shown. Mitre each of the corners as shown and then pin and lace firmly in this direction.

Lace the long sides together first.

Mitre and pin each corner before lacing the short sides together.

Finish lacing the remaining two sides.
