Place Mats in Progress
Thus far, two place mats are almost completed and am diligently working on the third. Once I add the white border, the place mats will look more "finished". I am surprised at how quickly I am progressing (only began this project at start of May). At this rate, I should be finished well before the end of June--plenty of time to weave in all those pesky ends.
I've been mulling over the final gift presentation. An inexpensive basket would be a lovely receptacle for all the handmade kitchenware. Maybe I could line the basket with matching fabric and ribbon? I do own a sewing machine and can sew a straight line--um, well sort of straight. I suppose I could use pinking shears instead (I can cut straight lines on paper; not sure about fabric).
Dishcloth
Dish Soap Apron
Of course I'm including some dishcloths and hand towels. Perhaps even a bottle of enviro-friendly dish soap wearing it's own apron? What else could I add? Sponges? Fridge magnets? Any other ideas? Maybe I need to wander up and down the housewares and linen aisles at my local Walmart . . .
Happy crafting :)
I have a dish soap apron, and I love it. What about a soap sock?
ReplyDeleteThea, I'm not sure what a soap sock is . . . maybe I need to do a search over at Ravelry, LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat about adding some co-ordinating napkin ring holders? There's patterns for knitting them, but you could go with store bought as well. They are looking good!
ReplyDeleteWool-Free, I like the idea of napkin rings, although I'm not sure if I'd make them. Maybe I could also pick up some matching napkins . . . hmmmm :)
