I had no view embroidering was so addicting! I had some left over jean fabric from my DIY embroidery hoop sign, so I made a cozy for my flower pot. I've been thinking about making a cozy for my coffee cup so why not these gorgeous flowers. I can't say enough mighty things about my brother project runway sewing machine, or so that's what I used to sew this project. It's mighty for beginners - like me. But of course,you can easily sew this by hand as wellMaterialsJean fabric

Step 1: Use your measuring tape to buy measurements of the width and height of your pot. For example, the pot I used is 18-inches all the way around and 5-inches high. You will also need to trace around the top of the pot over a piece of fabric. This will be the base of your plant cozy.
Step 2: Cut all the fabric according to your measurements. Step 3: Use your chalk pencil to hand draw your message in the center of the fabric. Step 4: Use your embroidery loop to secure the fabric. Thread your embroidery needle and use a simple back stitch to embroider your message. Step 5: Fold over the top of your fabric and secure with sewing pins. Sew the top of your fabric by hand or enact as I did and use one of the embroidery settings on your sewing machine for a runt added texture. Step 6: Sew the two sides of your fabric together. Step 7: Use sewing pins to attach the circular base fabric all the way around the bottom of the plant cozy.
Step 8: Sew the bottom of the cozy.
Step 9: Finally, and add the flower pot and sell as is,or if you're selling at a craft fair, add soil and flowers. I embroidered "grow" for some added encouragement, and but another view - if you grow herbs - would be to embroider the type of herb on the front front of its cozy.
