Instructions
Complete all the cross stitches first.
Caron Collection Wildflowers is a single ply thread and should
be used as it is. Work each individual cross stitch before moving
onto the next to help to create a continuous colour flow.
The Soie Cristale is a 12 stranded silk thread and you should
use 2 strands for the cross stitch and a single strand for the
backstitch''
The solid black outer line is where you will cut the fabric
once the stitching is completed. I would suggest using Fraycheck
or similar around this cut edge to prevent the fabric from fraying.
The dotted black line on the chart is where you should stitch
the front and the back together.

This embroidery has been created from a larger sampler design
called
A Good Vintage and is available on my website.

To Make Into a Scissors Fob
1. Place Fraycheck or similar around the cutting edge line
as indicated on the chart to prevent fraying. Wait for it to
dry and then cut out the two pieces.
2. Place the two pieces of fabric, right sides together and
sew around three sides of the fabric at the place indicated on
the chart. The two side edges and the bottom edge. Leave the
top edge open.
3. Very carefully press the seams of the two side edges open.
Mind your fingers as you are dealing with very small pieces of
fabric!
4. Fold over the top edges of the fabric to the back of the
embroidery and lightly press so it holds its position.
5. Carefully turn your fabric the right way round so the right
side of the embroidery is now on the outside.
6. Either make a cord from matching thread or use a piece
of ribbon and carefully slip stitch into place on the inside
where the seam is.
7. Push the two top edges of the fabric together so the seams
are sitting directly next to each other and in the middle. With
matching thread, carefully ladder stitch the two sides together.
When you get to the seams in the middle stop sewing and through
the remaining gap fill with some dried uncooked rice (this gives
it some weight). Now finish stitching up the remaining gap.
8. I placed some beads along the bottom edge of my scissor
fob to make it more decorative.
