SeptemberSchool Days Magnets

September means school routines are back in full swing, along with artwork, reminders, schedules, and plenty of papers coming home.

This month, we’re making a set of four fabric-covered magnets in warm fall colors. Each one will feature its own embroidered detail, creating a coordinated set for keeping the important papers visible.

Build and paint the magnet bases, then wrap the front cards in fabric.

The School Days Magnets are starting to take shape. I’m gluing two chipboard pieces together for each base and painting the boards white to keep the fabric colors bright. I’m also wrapping the front cards in fabric, including the two embroidered pieces.

About Stitched Form

One project. One month. One shared creative journey.

Inspired by the season we're living in, each project takes shape through community design votes and step-by-step tutorials. Together we'll choose fabrics, colors, embroidery, and other details before building the project from start to finish.

By the end of the month, you'll have a finished piece that reflects both the season and the community that helped shape it.

Crafting for the season we're in

Instead of racing ahead to the next holiday or season, each project celebrates the one we're living in now.

Whether it's long summer evenings on the deck, gathering with family during the holidays, or the quiet rhythm of winter, every project is designed to become part of those everyday moments.

Built using French cartonnage

Every Stitched Form project is built using French cartonnage, a traditional craft that transforms chipboard, fabric, and paper into beautiful, functional objects.

Instead of learning techniques in isolation, you'll learn them while creating projects you'll actually use and enjoy.

As you complete projects throughout the year, you'll naturally build your cartonnage skills while making pieces designed for modern everyday living.

Many projects also include optional embroidery for those who want to add a personal touch.
