...what's the time?

Because I save most of my sewing for the weekend I can sometimes get stuck into things and lose track of time - and not least because until tonight I didn't have a way to tell the time in the sewing room. 


But last weekend - when 6:30pm arrived without due warning I decided enough was enough and I pulled out my Trimmings pack. 


I traced numbers the numbers onto visoflix, fused them to the 'trimmimgs' and then I cut them out and fused them on to a piece of cotton/hemp fabric I had in my stash.


 I sewed a running stitch just inside the number to secure it to the background and then again just outside to define them slightly more.


I also added a small spool of thread to the centre of the clock face. The print offered a number of thin lines in one direction and I back-stitched lines perpendicular to make the 'thread'.


All done! I'm pretty happy with it!

Awesome! While I'm seldom allowed to forget the time I think I need a fabric clock.
