Thought you may like another smocking tutorial, it's been a while! This is the bows design, my favourite. It's the most time consuming but I think striking technique. Hope you like it!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really enjoyed making these decorated pots for Simply Home Made magazine so I thought I'd share them with you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Paint a plant pot in a pretty pastel colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Take three 1" strips of fabric cut on the bias, long enough to wrap around the top of the pot, place them together and sew straight down the centre. Scrub with a scrubbing brush to fray the edges.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRrEWAFPgsxKEVn6YI0RmfoI-7YM3ZSquWid_DuWUZR9hjapu7dJSEUha3bmJHiSHUkLUX9sSHmoFLYBcKiF4OuDcsCGjY42i7USAe8QXZrYDqOmOfkkNpG-qhoYT54M9D1Beo1jZjh1Xf/s1600/old+stuff+085.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRrEWAFPgsxKEVn6YI0RmfoI-7YM3ZSquWid_DuWUZR9hjapu7dJSEUha3bmJHiSHUkLUX9sSHmoFLYBcKiF4OuDcsCGjY42i7USAe8QXZrYDqOmOfkkNpG-qhoYT54M9D1Beo1jZjh1Xf/s320/old+stuff+085.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Glue around the top of the pot then add a strip of ribbon.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUktMHGyETpJ55HNbvsC5sD7IV8kYYjBu4ywgSByh05oJRPUFyQ4goF8_aSg20dAV6lUa3Humq6E-3q_t9gTUVaC2QVFuCHMCNvKgDbUyf3I5hvkkmL5MefxPMwNbAZqfTYlvFI1_LFxer/s1600/old+stuff+091.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUktMHGyETpJ55HNbvsC5sD7IV8kYYjBu4ywgSByh05oJRPUFyQ4goF8_aSg20dAV6lUa3Humq6E-3q_t9gTUVaC2QVFuCHMCNvKgDbUyf3I5hvkkmL5MefxPMwNbAZqfTYlvFI1_LFxer/s320/old+stuff+091.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Tie a bow, then add a couple of buttons, as I'm gluing I've tied embroidery thread through the holes to make them look hand sewn.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjquid_E2o16wa6pstfYyDcDBXzLdM1f2FzDT0mNWbOwekrcB3_kIIJK3zug2P2psaSLkHHtfAS5JtozF6Xm3PYJlQGdTC-BAiNH6omGWDslncl2xjtpLtLp34g6xtNcNyuCc_z8ZiPCx8r/s1600/old+stuff+092.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjquid_E2o16wa6pstfYyDcDBXzLdM1f2FzDT0mNWbOwekrcB3_kIIJK3zug2P2psaSLkHHtfAS5JtozF6Xm3PYJlQGdTC-BAiNH6omGWDslncl2xjtpLtLp34g6xtNcNyuCc_z8ZiPCx8r/s320/old+stuff+092.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Glue the bow over the join of the ribbon, add a string of beads for extra decoration.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As the nights get colder, snuggle up to this soft fleecy
covered hot water bottle! It’s fully lined so you don’t see raw edges on the
inside, and would make a perfect present for anybody, young or old. I’ve used
fleece not just because of its softness, but because it’s a knitted fabric so
has a bit of stretch which helps when you pop the bottle inside.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Think of your needle and thread as a pen and ink, but
instead of moving the pen over the paper, you move the fabric under the needle
to create your own unique designs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two
things you’ll need for your sewing machine, a drop-feed dog facility [the feed
dogs are the teeth that carry the fabric through the machine, by dropping these
out of the way, you have control of moving the fabric in any direction you
like] and a free motion or darning foot, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: red;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">this foot ‘hops’ across the fabric, and
allows you to see where you’re stitching. It’s also a good idea to practice on
a piece of fabric you’re not too precious about!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Before you start embroidering, it’s a good idea to use
stabiliser on the back of your fabric to give it substance and stop it from
twisting, particularly on stretch fabrics like this jersey sweater.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0THNrBleq1jjna5vpAnRDS7J19sDkfbz0Irea8_HYNiLNYtWdU8S0dcdSy9NjNYPXkb0y34qU72JB7E947E0cmtLYmGRLMS0d1ShORO7m2e5ELL4Ewl2sRqygDXZsV3bGb0QrmpgYuvig/s1600/white+heart+sweater.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0THNrBleq1jjna5vpAnRDS7J19sDkfbz0Irea8_HYNiLNYtWdU8S0dcdSy9NjNYPXkb0y34qU72JB7E947E0cmtLYmGRLMS0d1ShORO7m2e5ELL4Ewl2sRqygDXZsV3bGb0QrmpgYuvig/s320/white+heart+sweater.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Iron-on or tear-away, it doesn’t
really matter! You can use a hoop if you wish but you may find it a hindrance
particularly on larger designs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So, dogs down and foot on. Pop your fabric under the needle,
foot on the pedal, and start to sew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lay
your hands flat either side of the needle, and move from side to side, up and
down, around in circles, swirls, zig-zags, any way you wish but just keep
moving! It’s good practice to stop after the first few stitches, leaving the
needle down, and snip off the excess thread so you don’t sew over it. You’ll
realise as you’re sewing that the faster you move the fabric, the longer the
stitch. There are no rules, stitch at a speed you feel comfortable with and
like the look of.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When you’ve had a practice, take your work out of your
machine and turn it over. You may find that the tension on some machines needs
tightening, but check your manual for tension recommendations.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What to draw? Well you may think you’re not an artist, but
we’re all capable of abstract scribblings that look wonderful when doodled in
beautifully coloured threads! Use an erasable ink pen to draw your design
before stitching as with my tea-time table mat, </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Free motion embroidery has a significant place in the
quilting world, in fact this is what ‘quilting’ is! You’ll see stippling and
texture in many different designs, not just to add interest to the project but
holding the layers of fabric and wadding together. The stitches can meander in
a puzzle-like manner all over the quilt, or designs like feathers and pebbles
which are a little more advanced. As a beginner just doodle! </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The main thing with free motion embroidery is to have fun!
There’s no right or wrong, and you don’t need specialist sewing skills to
achieve beautiful and original designs.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I thought some of you may appreciate a bit of jargon busting!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sewing, as with many crafts and hobbies, seems to have
its own vocabulary, so lets see if I can translate a few of the most common terms.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Grain:</strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is the direction of the fabric, the north and south
if you like, as the fabric comes off the roll with the selvedge either side.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Cross grain:</strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If the grain is the north and south, this is the east and
west, so the cross grain is the direction from side to side.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Bias:</strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is the 45 degree angle to the straight line. Bias
tape is strips of fabric cut at this angle, as bias cutting creates a bit of
stretch in the fabric, so when trimming anything with a curve, the bias tape
won’t pucker.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Selvedge:</strong></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></strong> </div>

</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The selvedge is the term for the edges of the fabric,
where the thread has been looped back to stop the fabric from unravelling. Some
manufacturers will print the brand name here, and a reference to the colours
used in the print. Always cut off the selvedge before you start a project as
the weave tends to be slightly different to the fabric, but take a good look at
it before you throw it away, some selvedges make lovely trims!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Warp:</strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The threads in your woven fabric that go up and down.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Weft:</strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The threads that go across your fabric. An easy way to
remember is that these threads go ‘weft to right’.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Pre-wash:</strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Washing and drying your fabric before you start to sew
will eliminate shrinkage in your finished project, so wash it in the same way as
you would wash your finished item. That said, I don’t wash bags or cushion
covers, I spot clean them if they get dirty, so wouldn’t pre wash in this case.
The feel of you fabric may be a little softer<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>after washing as the sizing is washed away, if you like the crispness,
use a little spray starch when you iron it. If you’re concerned about colours
running, uncommon unless your fabric is red or purple, then just cut a small
piece and soak it in warm soapy water for half an hour or so. Whilst still wet,
place on some white kitchen roll and you’ll soon see if the colour’s running!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Fat quarter:</strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Take a meter or yard of fabric and cut it in half
lengthways, then in half again widthways, and you’ll have four pieces of fabric
that measure around 18” x 22”. These are fat quarters. If you cut one of these
pieces in half lengthways, you have a fat eighth.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Fat quarters are commonly sold in packs of co-ordinating
colours and prints, such a good idea as you know they’re all going to match!</span></div>
