I'm also trying to make more cute things for the home and last year I got these fab placemat panels from the lovely Cat&Vee. We're not really placemat people, plus there are five of us, so I hadn't done anything with them yet.
But tonight I pulled out the insulbright I'd been hoarding, some scraps of batting and some black fabric and whipped up four super-cute, very useful pot holders/ trivets.
Then I immediately tossed the old ones out. Now all I have is cute and handmade, which makes me much happier. And there's one less thing on the sewing to do list.
Win all around.
Definitely a win all around. And they *are* super cute! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteYup! Much better ... I'll just go to my kitchen now and throw out those cork thingys ...
ReplyDeleteCute and practical!
ReplyDeleteI haven't stared my kitchen in the eye for a while. Every time I do, the fondue set manages to survive the cull. Why is that?
