Something New

~*~

I love to make my game night coasters and applique, so for ages I've wanted to try the pattern out with fabric.

I finally got around to doing it the other night, and I just couldn't stop!  I made these four hotpads while watching a movie on TV.

Each of these is made from a standard size pillowcase.  They measure about 7" across and are about a half inch thick.

I like that they provide good table protection, yet they are flexible and kind of dainty looking.  They are machine wash and dry, too.  I should have these up in sosorosey before the day is over.  $10 each makes them an easy choice for a hostess gift, and as always, custom orders are welcome!

What is next on your list of crafts to try or things to make? 

Thursday's Treasure: 5/27

This is what I saw hanging up in the thrift store. Not sure what possessed me to turn it over, but OMG- I'm so glad I did!!

Squeeeeeaaaaallll!!!! An unused Vera Neumann pot holder... it even has a sweet little orchid colored ladybug. Total treasure if I do say so myself.
