Meet the Curvelet's counterparts, the Squrvelet and the Ovalet! You're going to love these ingenious little templates from designer Jen Carlton Bailly. The Squrvelet allows you to easily create quarter squares, half squares, and full squares with rounded corners, and the Ovalet makes creating quarter, half, and full ovals a cinch!


How To Use the Squrvelet & Ovalet Templates

The Curvelet, Squrvelet, and Ovalet templates all come with a very helpful booklet that has easy to follow illustrated steps as well as a QR code that links to an in-depth tutorial video. You can view the tutorial videos for the Squrvelet and Ovalet below.



Sue's Way

In last week's Creative Classroom on the Curvelet, we showed you some modifications that Sue had made to the Curvelet steps. These same modifications will work for the Squrvelet and the Ovalet. Check out Sue's Way HERE and see what works best for you!


Sew by Hand or Machine

We love that these templates can be used both ways. If hand sewing isn't your thing, you can easily whip up little curved shapes on your machine!
