There are often times when sewing that I want to cut a perfect circle of fabric – from sewing duffel bags, to circle skirts, to polka-dot appliques. There are 3 easy ways to draw a perfect circle on fabric. Trace a Circular Object In your kitchen I bet you’ll find more circular objects that you might think! Tops and bottoms of bowls, glasses, mugs, crocks – all will have slightly different size circles. The easiest way to cut a perfect circle of fabric is to find something that’s the right size and trace around it with your favorite fabric pen, tailors chalk, or my favorite – the clover chaco liner. Tracing around a kitchen object works great for things like applique projects where “close enough” is the right size, but what about when you need the circle to be an exact size and you don’t have a corresponding bowl? Use ...

It’s a hand-stitching technique! This classic finish for a pillow or cushion is not difficult, but for the best results; you need a longer, stronger needle, heavy-duty upholstery thread, and a soft yet stable mid-weight fabric.
finally...its done! I have been looking for a colorful black forest type clock while thrifting for some time but with no luck - so one day I got impatient and decided I'd just have to make one. I went online & found images of real clocks I liked, than combined all the features I liked into one clock, which I drew in illustrator. I cut out all the colored fabric, than appliquéd it onto the brown fabric - stretched the whole thing on a 14" hoop {largest I've ever used & not as awkward as I thought it would be} then embroidered the detail in. I used foam core to back the whole thing, then finally added the clock mechanism. from the very tip of the house to the bottom of the lowest pinecone "weight" it is 24" - the house is 11.5" from top to bottom & 10.5" across. it was a very satisfying project & I'm really happy with the way it turned out. hopefully my next project won't take so long to complete {this one didn't need to take as long as it did...I just kept being interrupting by other things} and there will be more crafty things being posted here than there have been lately. of course it wouldn't be thursday without a vintage embroidery sample: and, for a great round up of more embroidery patterns check out one pretty thing too :) happy stitching!
