Caroline's Fabric Bowls
1 Attachment(s)
Hi Guys,
I have been asked by a couple of people how to make the small fabric bowls that I posted recently. I thought that they would be too difficult to just explain so I have done a tutorial for you. Here goes... Step 1 Cut 2 complementary fabric square 10.5" x 10.5" and one square of batting 10" x 10" (fusible wadding is best if you have it). Please note that poly batting is no good for this project as the loft is too high. STEP 2 Place fabrics on top of each other, right sides together and place wadding centrally on top, press or pin in place. [ATTACH=CONFIG]379653[/ATTACH] Step 3 Sew all round with a quarter inch seam, leaving a gap for turning. When finished, turn right side in. [ATTACH=CONFIG]379659[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]379663[/ATTACH] Step 4 Press and then sew all the way around again, only this time as close to the edge as you can. Step 5 Number your corners as shown in the picture. Tis does not need to be done physically as long as you can remember where they are. [ATTACH=CONFIG]379668[/ATTACH] Step 6 Now this is the tricky bit. Corner 1 - measure 2.5 inches down the left side and mark with a half inch line. Corner 2 - measure in from the corner along the top 2.5 inches and mark a half inch line. Corner 3 - measure in from bottom 2.5 inches and mark with a half inch line. Corner 4 - measure upwards from the corner and mark with a half inch line. If you zoom in on the photo you should see some blue lines. [ATTACH=CONFIG]379684[/ATTACH] Step 7 Another tricky bit. Fold square corner 1 to corner 2 with inside fabric touching. Stitch a had inch along each 2.5 inch mark... See photos. [ATTACH=CONFIG]379685[/ATTACH] |

Okay Guys,
SECOND PART of the tutorial.... I had to stop for dinner and there were too many pic to post in one thread. Step 8 You have to stitch all the marked lines together as follows....in step one you did corner 1 to corner 2' now do the following.... Corner 4 to Corner 2, Corner 3 to Corner 4 and finally Corner 3 to Corner 1 and you should end up with a tied hankie shape... See photo. Step 9 Now take one of the bottom loops and flatten it...... Stitch down each side. [ATTACH=CONFIG]379688[/ATTACH] Do this for all 4 bottom loops. [ATTACH=CONFIG]379689[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]379690[/ATTACH] Step 10 Fold down the points and sew on an embellishment if you want or just pop in a small tacking stitch to ensure that the points stay down. [ATTACH=CONFIG]379692[/ATTACH] I didn't have any Christmas buttons (can you believe that), so I made a tiny Suffolk Puff (yo yo to you guys) and popped on a Swarovski Crystal. [ATTACH=CONFIG]379695[/ATTACH] I hope you can follow this tutorial, but if you have any problems... Just PM me. hugs Caroline |
