Or how to make a cheep plastic tape measure look awesome!
and embroidered about 2 dozen french knotted circles
Whew!
It was part of my travelling project, whilst my DDH drove us all around the Midwest and Canada this summer,
I needed something to keep my hands busy till It was my turn to drive.WHAT? You only see 7 here!
Yep, those are the best looking ones
the rest will show up on something else at some point
I cut a circle +2" all the way around and tacked them down to a piece of muslin for a little more stability and strength in the latter stages
When I was done I sewed around the outside edge with a very loose straight stitch and pulled the ends, smoothing it out, until I got two circles about the right size and Iron it around the edges.
I used a piece of ribbon about the right width tho go around the whole thing and sewed that to both sides, don't forget to turn your Edges and leave openings for the tape and the chain (unless your's doesn't have one) I finished it off by covering the tacky plastic pull for the tape
And Bob's your Uncle!
