I made these fun fabric swingin' vases.
For these, I used my own original fabric, with a thin batting behind and did some free motion stitching.
Then, just because, I colored in some of the stitched shapes with water soluble crayons.
I used glass test tubes from here. These are the 38x200mm size, $3 each.
I measured them, and stitched two sides, rounding the bottom. You can hem them first, by machine, or hem them later, by hand. I sewed buttons on each side, on the top, and strung the monofilment (fishing line) through the buttons, to create a hanger.
I created another set, as gifts, using fabric printed with a Paris subway map (sorry, I don't remember where I got this fabric) and free motioned it.
I hand stitched the top hem of these.
Very cool idea... You're a very clever girl!

ReplyDeletevery creative idea and most decorative and eye-catching at the same time; purposeful too! Lovely Jane.
ReplyDeleteThese look so awesome! I have a similar style I'll have to try a couple myself. I also love the green house photos what a perfect venue for these.

ReplyDeleteThese are even cuter than bug's ears. What a great idea! Thanks for putting together the detailed photo tutorial. It's very clear and easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteBTW, after seeing your Pogo, I bought one and I am having so much fun with it -- made a little book for Thanksgiving and guests wrote under their photos.
Love your vase - a great idea :-)
