The pot itself sits inside a terracotta water dish and that sits inside a plastic container.
Id love to make more in different sizes for some of my other potted plants!
Grab the printable patternhere.
In my case, the widest point of my ceramic planter was the upper rim.
Whatever your measurements are, you will need to make the canvas planter bigger by 1.5 width and height.
The canvas planter pattern consists of 2 shapes: one circular and one rectangular shape.
The circular pattern piece makes up the base and determines how much space will be around the potted plant.
Record the measurement for circumference and height before proceeding.
And then calculate your planter dimensions based on the circumference of the circle instead of the diameter.
Wash and dry the fabric prior to sewing, removing promptly from the dryer to reduce wrinkles.
Iron out any creases and wrinkles prior to cutting.
Cut two large rectangular pieces measuring to your calculations.
In my case, 11.5 wide x 38.7 long.Cut two circular pieces measuring measuring to your calculations.
In my case, 13 wide.
Divide the rectangular pieces by 4 and notch the long sides at 4 evenly spaced spots.
Notch the perimeter of the circles at 4 evenly spaced spots.
Sew the edges together with a 12 seam allowance.
Remember to back tack at the start and end of all your stitch lines.
Repeat with the other rectangular piece.
Using an iron, press the seams open.
Next, take one circle piece and one rectangle piece and align the notches with RIGHT sides together.
Pin together if needed.
With a single needle stitch, sew the two pieces together.
This completes the outer layer of the canvas planter.

To sew in the the lining, continue with the remaining instructions.
With RIGHT sides together, align the vertical seam from the rectangular pieces with each other.
Aligning the notches, sew the two rectangular pieces together.
Take the other circle piece and align it with the opening matching notches.
Pin together (if needed) and sew together leaving a 4-5 gap opening.
Turn the piece right wide out through the 4-5 opening at the bottom.

Stitch the opening closed.
Place your potted plant inside your new modern canvas planter cover and enjoy!
