I'm bringing you an easy sewing idea today!
Giving credit where credit is due, here's where I got the idea! Megin at VMG206 made gorgeous dish towels using fabric from a drop cloth! A drop cloth! They are ridiculously inexpensive for the amount of heavy weight fabric you are getting!

What an inspiration! I love LOVE the raw texture as well as how durable and absorbent this fabric is. I pretty much followed Megin's Instructions, just changed up the pattern to suit me.
'Wanna see? ;-)
The drop cloth I purchased had this stamp in one corner. It totally made me smile! So I cut the size I wanted and hemmed around the stamp! One dish cloth complete!
Then I started goofing around with my paint pens, some stencils and a ruler. Here are my achievements!
These were so much fun! ( I actually like the striped one the best.) Wouldn't they make a fun hostess gift?! Just think of all the ways you could customize them!
I have actually completed THREE projects with drop cloths now!
Drop Cloth Curtains
and
Pillow Covers
What have you been making?

I love that idea! Both cheap and chic! I made sure to pin it to my board so my followers can see it. I'm thinking of doing it for un-paper towels.

hey I have paint pens! I don't have stencils, which you don't want to see me free hand anythig lol. Your towels are totally fab! So how many drop cloth ideas are you aiming for total? Don't aim for 101 like I did with the blue jeans....way too many. Thanks for linking to Snickerdoodle Sunday Marci!!
ReplyDeleteBright idea! These are almost too pretty to use on dishes. ;-)
