Nautical Wall Hanging

For this wall-hanging you'll need: cotton patterned fabric (preferably with some kind of marine pattern), white cotton fabric for embroidery, white felt (15" x 43"), a wooden rod (14" long), navy blue bias tape (about 7 yards long), golden metallic cord (about 3 yards long) and 22 small grommets.

We used the designs Frigate, Schooner and Brigantine from our Nautical section.

Step One: Make the embroidery on white fabric. You do not need to stabilize the fabric, but tighten it well in the hoop. When the embroidery is ready, press it. Draw 8" x 10" rectangles around the embroidery and cut them out, leaving 1/2" on each side for seams.

Step Two: On the patterned fabric, draw 4 rectangles measuring 3" x 8". Cut them out, leaving 1/2" on each side for seams. Stitch them to the embroidered pieces, linking them. Press to the side of the patterned fabric.

Step Three: Cut six 9" long pieces of bias tape and slip-stitch them over the seams. Press.

Step Four: Out of patterned fabric cut out two rectangles measuring 42" x 3", leaving 1/2" seam allowance on one of the long sides. Stitch them to the sides of your working piece. Press the seams to the patterned fabric.

Step Five: Place a piece of felt (43" x 15") on the table. Cover it with your embroidered piece. Pin both layers together. Quilt along the bias tape. Cut the away excess felt at the edges.

Step Six: Finish the raw edges with the bias tape.

Step Seven: Out of patterned fabric cut out a rectangle measuring 4" x 15". Finish the short edges. Fold in half lengthwise, face side inwards. Machine stitch along the long side to form a tube. Turn it inside out. Press.

Step Eight: Stitch lengthwise, 1" away from the seam.

Step Nine: Slip-stitch the tube to the upper edge of the hanging. Slip-stitch a loop in the center of the top edge on the back of the hanging.

Step Ten: Mark the placement of the grommets, 3 3/4" apart -- the grommets are marked in yellow on the diagram. Insert the grommets, following the manufacturer's directions.
