This page includes instruction, sewing pattern and free designs for making
the apron wine-bottle decor. Here is how the ready project looks:
Instruction
2. Download the free leaves patterns and get the
"Squirrel from Tiny Christmas Trifles" set.
2. If you have a large hoop - align all designs in embroidery software and embroider them on
a piece of suitable fabric. We've used linen for this project. Be sure to stabilize properly.
Cutaway backing is usually best for cross-stitch designs.
If your hoop is small - embroider the designs one-by-one, with re-hooping. You may learn an easy design aligning technique
by subscribing to our free e-Learning course.
3. Print out the pattern and draw around the embroidered designs, using disappearing textile pencil. The sizes of our pattern
are for 16-count designs; so if you decide to use the 14 or 18-count version, adjust the size a little.
4. Cut out the embroidered fabric according to your marks, leaving 1/3-inch seam allowance.
5. Iron the edges inside and stitch them. You may also add some kind of decorative trim -
a narrow lace or ribbon, for example, like we did on the hat.
6. Add a ribbon for apron ties and loop, like this scheme shows:
6. The apron is ready. Now, cut a round piece of similar fabric for the hat, trim it's edges
and tie the hat around the bottle head. Wear the apron. Project ready!
