So when I read of a challenge on the Down to Earth Forum ( http://downtoearthforums.com/showthread.php?t=8505&p=115914#post115914 ) to handmake one item a month for 2012 I decided to sign up! The theme for January was " something for your kitchen" and I decided that I would make a heat resisant pot trivet and oven mitts.......................well, as January mosied along I was too busy to sit down & sew! I finally made it to today ( 30th January) and found some time to make my planned items.
I used some brightly coloured printed drill fabric which was left over from an outfit I made our youngest 16 years ago ( yep, that's right.. I still had the leftover fabric in the cupboard-I've carted it with us through 5 house moves!) and used some thermal batting picked up from Spotlight. I didn't want to buy a pattern- so I made it up as I went along! All things considered I'm happy with my efforts!
Oh goody, you can make some for me.:)
ReplyDeleteLove the look! These look great! Didn't know about the challenge, I have only a day left. I think I can get something made!
ReplyDeleteHi Ladies!
ReplyDeleteNow that I've started I think I've got the bug! I ended up making a basic quilt for the cot we've set up in the spare room-with both daughters expecting in the next couple of months we decided to set up a "nursery area" for when they are home.
Oh I love the nice bright look. Must go check out the challenge, sounds like a good one!
