Weekend Sewing

I FINALLY got my sewing room put back together. Not that all the fabric is folded — I still have a cabinet with fabric that needs to be done. But the majority of the shelves have been straightened, and that’s good enough for now. I’ve been itching to get back to sewing.

Over the weekend, I managed to sneak in a few quickie projects. Remember the cousins? I’ll be seeing them again very soon, and since they always take such good care of us, I want to take them a little gift.

Hopefully, these kitchen towels, combined with a few things from the kitchen shop will fit the bill. I thought it would be fun to play with my leftover Susan Branch fabrics.

I’m pretty sure none of them have lime green kitchens, but these are just for fun. I’ll tell them I’m hoping to inspire a new color scheme. ;-)

Now it’s late….off to bed!
XOXO,

  1. They’re gorgeous, Anna! and the ricrac edging is just inspired…what a great idea for presents. I need more ideas for presents to people with no kiddos.

  2. Oh I love those towels Anna – I suppose you just dreamed that all up on your own. Had to go back and see what the link was and those little totes with the names on them are adorable. How clever you are Mrs. Thimbleanna. I wished you lived by me so I could pick your brain on the wonderful ideas you come up with.

  3. These are lovely, Anna! I keep seeing all of these gorgeous patchwork combinations…It makes me want to get started on a patchwork embellishment project, too. Thank you for sharing!

  4. Adorable tea towels Anna! You have given me a great idea what to do with some of my leftover fabric! Wouldn’t it be cute to do some in a fall or holiday theme!?! What a perfect hostess gift.

  5. AAhhhhhh ….love it! The Susan Branch/rickrackiness of it is just perfect!
    Good thing cuteness isn’t fatal, we’d all be done for!
    Must copy this idea! Did you make the tea towels from fabric or find some plain ones to buy?

  6. OH MY GOSH !!!! Those towels are so sweet. This makes me want to pull out my sewing machine right now. I’m so inspired to do some sewing this fall after reading this post.
