Tried my hand at making an altar cloth today. Took me about 30 min just to draw out the star after using a bowl to make the circle. Found a great tutorial on youtube except I didn’t have a compass so I had to use a ruler and a few older tricks. Freehand zigzag stitching the Circle was a challenge but not too bad. and the star was simple after that. With practice I know I’ll et better esp if I can find the circle attachment for my machine. Though think next time I’ll use a hoop to stretch
What a great idea! You could make altar cloths for all types of occasions. I could think of several excuses to design an altar cloth. Thank you for sharing! My husband, randomly, but out of the goodness of his heart bought me a pair of sewing scissors for Christmas. I needed a reason to use them! You’re the best
If I can perfect the circle stitching I might open a store on Etsy or eBay. But Right now I’m just trying to get better then what I can do is have it so I can use contrasting fabrics.
Wow, @LadyDennaRahl- that looks great! Congrats on your beautiful new altar cloth I only know basic stitching on the machine, the fancy designs and patterns are still out my league right now- but I feel inspired seeing your lovely crafting!
