I’ve spent some time on the computer this afternoon and found some great projects to try. You might find some of these of interest too. The first is this cool wallet from that*darn*kat. I found this tutorial from stitch.rip.repeat for creating your own bunting. This one also has tutorials on printing your own fabric—which I really want to try—and how to make patchwork circle appliques—I love to applique. Lindamade has some easy potholders to make from old cocktail napkins. Very cute! I know aprons are one of the latest crazes, but they don’t spark my interest. I’ve never hung out in the kitchen making huge meals, and Roger has, over the years, come to accept this—sometimes sadly, sometimes grudgingly—but I’ve finally convinced him that a bologna sandwich is delicious and nutritious when you add a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. So I really have no use for an apron but, my homemaking skills aside, my longest year has a nice tutorial for a half apron that you might be interested in. Until next time.

Let’s go sew!
