Check the end cuts of the green felt, straightening them up if they’re jagged or uneven. Sew a blanket stitch around the perimeter of the green felt mat. (This step is not necessary but it makes a more finished product, especially for gift-giving.) Cut an assortment of street lengths from the black felt: about 8” long and 2” in diameter. Make a bunch of straight pieces and at least 4 elbow curves. Make a few s-curves and other curvy pieces to add some fun. Be sure to keep the pieces about 2” wide. With a knotted thread, stitch a running stitch down the center of each street piece, neatly knotting the end. This running stitched dotted line will enable these street pieces tt be reversible.
