Got a pile of pretty fabric scraps you can’t part with? Here’s the perfect project – turn them into a gorgeous fabric bowl with this creative textile art and embroidery tutorial from Reign Vermont! It’s a relaxing, slow-stitching project that gives you something useful and beautiful at the end. You’ll learn how to make a free bowl template yourself, and it’s super simple. Just cut a circle, slice it into segments, and overlap the cuts to shape the bowl!
Start by arranging your fabric scraps on adhesive stabilizer, then add decorative stitching to secure the edges and build your own unique textile. Once that’s done, trace and cut the bowl shape, and stitch overlapping edges to give it height. For a sturdy finish, sandwich two layers together. You can add bias tape or use a neat blanket stitch to edge it. This is such a fun way to use up fabric leftovers, and each bowl you make is truly one-of-a-kind. A brilliant gift idea or pretty place to keep your pins, trinkets, or sewing clips!
