SCARY APOTHECARY – FINISHING TEMPLATE

April 30, 2019 By Cathy Habermann 5 Comments

Scary Apothecary – Finishing Template

Thank you for stitching this spooky, silly & sparkly Halloween series! I’ve provided a template (see link below) which is the exact size that was used in the pictured finishes. You just need to grab some matboard, cardboard, batting, ribbon & all of those extra little bits to fully-finish your series!

Please follow my other Flat-Finishing tutorials for guidance on setting up your cut boards, lacing & stitching front to back. Print out this page & adjust as necessary so that the dimensions of the template measure what it should.

I chose to use ribbon for a hanger & add a secondary bow—it’s put in place with a coordinating ball head pin. I chose a fun woolfelt ball for the bottom—I found mine at a variety of Etsy shops. That is also help in place with a pin, this time with a good old straight pin.

You will need to cut 18 pattern pieces in all to complete all 9 ornaments. I would trace this onto a piece of cardboard & cut to use as a template. This will make your tracing more consistent.

Here is the link to the template!   Finishing template

Added bonus! I offered a complimentary design at Nashville market. Favorite Brew was designed with the colors that I used throughout the series – even some of the Scary Sparkle! Print yours here:   favorite brew

Have fun finishing & be sure to show your finishes using the hashtag— #scaryapothecary.

Enjoy the stitch,

Cathy, Hands On Design

    How big a Cut of 32 count winter wishes do you suggest we purchase to stitch the complete set of nine designs?
    Also – are multiple skeins of any of the flosses Required to stitch the entire series (fibers and/or kreiniks)? Thank you for your help! Love your designs.

      A fat half of linen will be more than enough to complete each of the 9 ornaments. I stitched on 9 x 9 pieces – this will give you a little extra (but it’s a beautiful color!)
      If you look at the designs on the website, I give the thread requirements – how many skeins of each – if you are stitching the whole series including the Kreinik #4 Braid.

    What did you use around the ornaments? If that a special ribbon or cording? Thank you!

It’s almost time! For the past 5-ish years, I h It’s almost time!

For the past 5-ish years, I have been making a small token for #mrhod as a gift for our anniversary. I share that gift with stitchers as well. (This year’s coming soon)

Please look back at previous year’s blogposts on the website to find the patterns to download (hint: it’s usually about this time of year and you can see it in the blog cover photo ❤️)
