These place mats are super, super easy and you only need 1 piece of burlap and one smaller piece of patterned fabric, scissors and a sewing machine. All the stitching is top-stitching, making it a breeze to whip these up. We’ve added the Place mat_Template for you to download, but you can use any shape you like….
I saw one of these hanging in a shop last Christmas and decided I’d attempt to make one instead of buying it as theirs was made out of hessian and at that time I’d have preferred a more colourful fabric – I never got around to it! However, now I’m starting the Christmas craft tutorials…
These napkins came out better than I’d expected. I did however mess up the measurements – I’ve a million and one tutorials in my head at the moment and was clearly thinking of another! Still, I didn’t want to waste the material, so the one used to create the tutorial was 12 x 12 inches….
A great accompaniment to the granny stitch scarf, this uses the same colours so matches perfectly and allows you to use up what’s left of the yarn once the scarf is complete. I indicate colour changes in the pattern, but of course, as with the scarf, you can opt to use one colour, or two……
Although the pattern is for a scarf, it can easily be altered for so many uses. To continue along and create the scarf, just follow the instructions. However, if you want to create a blanket, a smaller scarf, pot holder etc., just be sure to chain in multiples of 3 until you reach the desired…
Having recently finished a blanket to be given as a gift, I was looking for something simple to make to add to it. I’ve created a PDF template for this project so it’s really simple to complete. Simply download the 20 Minute Bib Pattern and follow the instructions below. The ice-cream print was taken from the…
So our niece has a birthday coming up and I promised to make a new blanket for her doll. Using only what I had to hand, I settled on a pink/cream theme. The grey fat quarter you see in the image was used to applique letters to create the dolls name. I skipped this part…
This project shows you how to create a lovely little apron suitable for lots of different uses. Use it in the kitchen, in the garden, whilst cleaning etc. I whipped one up for the office so pens and other use-all-the-time items are to hand when needed, then made another using the newly added “Fabulously Fruity”…
Need something to keep that door from closing? Or maybe a little plush toy? Meet Oliver. He’s more than happy to be either. We decided to make a doorstop, using rice as the filling, but this can easily be changed to a plush toy Oliver by simply replacing the rice (or other heavy stuffing) with…
We all have them, those wonderful friends who prefer “proper books” to reading on electronic devices. Or even children who constantly have their head stuck in a book (this is a great thing by the way!!) These beautiful little bookmarks can be whipped up in no time and make wonderful gifts for the bookworm in…
