How to Assemble Your Embroidered Compact Mirror

After finishing your embroidery, follow the steps below to turn your design into a compact mirror. The guide shows how to gather the fabric around the metal disc, trim the excess, and secure the covered disc inside the compact.

The fabric is intentionally larger than the metal disc. The blue line is your guide for the running stitch.

When trimming, cut a little at a time and leave enough fabric to keep the gathered edge secure. The amount to trim may vary depending on the fabric and compact.
