This is the clock I had in the sewing room, something I picked up on sale at Hobby Lobby. It's ok, but I've never been real crazy about it. Today I decided to give it a little make-over. It was one of those unplanned, make it up as I go along kind of projects. I wanted to do something with fabric, something that would be fitting for a sewing room. Then I remembered this cool bag. I love the frayed edges and the random size and placement of the scraps. BINGO! A scrappy clock would be perfect for the sewing room. I started by tearing some strips of fabric. I wanted to use red and aqua. I also used some linen to keep it from being too bright.
Then I sewed the scraps to a base fabric, light weight cotton.
Next I traced around a plate to get a circle the same size as the face of my clock and cut it out with pinking shears. I made a hole in the center and inserted a grommet. I removed the hands from the clock and covered it with white glue, placed the patchwork circle and replaced the hands.
There you have it, a scrappy clock.
