Ort Jar Finish Instructions

Finishing Instructions:

 

“Sandwich Cookie” Finish


The finishing method for this project can be used on any ornament or round project.

First, using the large circle template, cut out the entire circle.

Fold in half and cut out the inner circle. You will use this as a design window to center your stitching before cutting.

Center your design and trace around the outside of the circle. 



Cut out your design.  I like to treat my edges with fray stop, but it is not mandatory.



Leaving a 6” tail at the start of your stitching, begin on the front side of your design.  Stitch a running stitch approximately ¼” from the edge of your circle with thread, leaving a 6” tail at the end.

Place the design over the lid, pull both threads to gather the fabric. Add stuffing if desired, then pull to tighten and knot securely.


Repeat this procedure for the bottom piece over cardstock which will be on the inside of your jar lid.

Align both pieces, and pressing firmly together, whip stitch both sides together. Insert lid face up into your ort jar and enjoy!

Luck of the Irish for EWE in 2022!

Image
Yes, Valentine's Day is coming up very soon but my mind has already turned to the luck of the Irish and St. Patrick's Day. I come from an Irish heritage and our family crest has a lion trampling a snake. Why? The legend is that ours is one of the families that helped St. Patrick drive the snakes out of Ireland long long ago. Here is a quick little stitch - Lucky Ewe  You can download the pattern HERE May the luck of the Irish be with Ewe in 2022!

Finally at the end of 2023, and what a ride!

Image
Friends, I have to confess it has been a really long year with a lot of ups and downs. To finish out the year I made myself a nice new combo bonnet, hat, dickie thing from Godey's Magazine and so many people responded positively I went ahead and did a write up to share. Please click on the link , and I would love to see your finished pieces in the comments section of the pattern! I am also looking for some pattern testers for the 1861 overboot (carriage slipper). I've had 2 rounds of testers ghost on me now, and I really want to finish that project in 2024. If you're interested drop a line in the comments section, or just stitch it up and send me a pic! It isn't a paid test, sorry. I am doing it for the re-enactor community. It is a useful pattern that would be new to the costuming scene.
