When sewing, How do you make "yo-yos"?

Asked by Ashalah (402points) September 16th, 2009

I am making this bag, and I have seen these things called “yo-yos”. No not the thing on a string but this http://z.about.com/d/sewing/1/0/W/5/2/doily2.jpg. I was just curious if anyone knows how to make these and if they could share how. I have searched for instructions on how to make them but haven’t had much luck.

Here are some instructions that seem simply enough to follow.

You cut circles out of the fabric, then sew a ¼ inch running stitch around the edge, about ¼ inch in, then pull the threads tight, while easing the edge under, like a hem.

You can also sew a million of them together, using up all your extra fabric scraps, and make a nice quilt. It will need a backing.
