Sundays in the Sewing Room…final countdown

Well, it’s here!! Christmas is just around the corner. I have a quick and easy project that you can put together in under an hour. Not including a trip to the dollar store to collect your supplies. If you are like me, there are too many distractions.

This year we are going for the Canadian Cottage Christmas theme. Red, white, black and plaid!!! This was a quick project I put together for an added touch to the kitchen.

Materials List:

one hot pad

one dishtowel

matching thread and button

marking pen

sewing machine and basic sewing supplies ( scissors, sewing needle, etc)

HOW TO:

  1. Find the middle of the dishtowel and sew across using a gathering stitch. I turn the tension to 0 and the longest straight stitch. Make sure to leave tails at either end
  2. Mark the middle of the hot pad with a removable marking pen, I use the Frixon pen as it dissappears.
  3. Gather the towel so that it is as wide as the hot pad, then sew the towel to the hot pad on the marked line.
     
  4. The gathering threads can be removed if you like.
  5. Fold in half and position button. Sew button on
  6. Done, attach to stove or dishwasher handle for a quick and easy decoration
  7. Also great for drying hands!Leave me a comment if you have tried this!
    Happy Crafting,

    Wishing everyone a safe and Merry Christmas!
