One of the things I love about selling on Folksy is how much

out there. Post your links to your shops below, and next week I’ll blog about
my favourites.

Step two:
Gently pull the thread to bring the edges of the circle in together to the centre.
Step three:
Tightly stitch through the fabric in the c…
