Wecome Sign
| Here are instruction to making a new "Welcome" sign to hang on your
entry door. For this project, we used the Swallow
Alphabet. You will need light-colored cotton canvas (about 25" x 20"),
trimming (about 55"), a piece of crafter's wire, a piece of cardboard or
foam (23" x 8"), and some silk flowers. |
|
| Step One: Stabilise the lower half of your fabric and embroider
the letters on it, one by one. Trim all jump stitches. Press. You should
get something similar to the diagram below. |
|
|
| Step Two: Pin the trimming around the word and then machine-stitch
in place. |
|
|
| Step Three: Fold the working piece in half lengthwise,
face inwards. Pin together. Mark a rectangle measuring 23 1/2" x 8 1/2".
Machine stitch along one short edge and along the long raw edge. Leave
one short edge open. Leave about 1/2" seam allowance, and cut away the
excess fabric. Turn the work right way out. Press. |
| Step Four: Insert a piece of cardboad or foam measuring 23"
x 8" inside. Fold the raw edges inside and slip-stitch. |
| Step Five: Using an awl, make two small holes to insert wire
and hang the sign. Decorate with silk flowers. Your Welcome sign is ready. |
