Months ago, my brother sent me designer upholstery fabric, along with an order for fabric bowls.
Since his birthday is this weekend, I thought I better get started.
The fabric is beautiful, but it is way too thick and difficult to handle. I didn’t use the strip-wrap method because the material frayed too easily.I just about pulled my hair out trying to get this done. The results are a bit wonky, but it is the best I could do.
Getting the coil started was difficult.
I had to go back and hand-sew places I missed because of the bulkiness of the fabric.
The other material he sent is even thicker, so I do not think I will even try to make another bowl.
I’ll pack this up to mail tomorrow.
I like, like, like this! The finishing/top of the bowl material is awesome! I bet everyone is going to want bowls for Christmas!
Thanks. My brother sent great fabric. As for Christmas…great idea!
It looks awesome! Glad your hair is still intact too 🤪
It’s fun to see a new bowl from you 😊
Thanks. It was difficult working with this fabric but I’m happy with the results.
Lucky brother!
He is a sweetie.
Looks great!
Thanks,Lori. I just did a final check for any unstitched areas and did some touch ups. I’m mailing it tomorrow.
