Size range: All sizes
Skill level: Beginners

Description
This pattern is a perfect scrap busting project to make wonderful patchwork, scallop edge fabric pots. You can tailor make your pots to suit your plants or use to store your crafty bits and bobs. The pots can be be made free standing or suspended with cord at a window - it’s up to you!

This easy to make fun pattern includes full size templates for two pot diameter sizes: small 13cm (5") or large 18cm (7") and an easy-to-follow step by step colour photo/illustrated instruction booklet. The pots can be made in a choice of two versions: Version A which is segmented all around the side edge and Version B has a top border band, as well as segments of different fabric along the lower side (see image 6). You can also stitch on an optional trimming such as ric rac or little pom-poms along the seam line as an extra feature. Transparent PVC can be added to the lining but this is not essential, alternatively, you can just pop a plastic container inside to protect the base (empty hummus pots or a small plastic bag are good). Please note: it’s best to water the plant outside of the pot and replace when all the excess water has drained off.

Fabric suggestions
Printed cotton, linen or denim are suitable for both the outer and lining fabrics. You will also need heavy weight fusible interfacing and a piece of sturdy cardboard. Optionally, you may also need some clear PVC, ric rac or pompom trim, 5mm (1/4”) cotton cord and a 2.5-4cm (1-1½”)wooden ring.
