In this issue, and the next issues to follow, we’re going to
explore many kitchen and home decorating accessories
to sew for your home.
Important to remember is that there are no barriers
from season to season when it comes to fabric choices
or embroideries. Visualize each project in its seasonal or
all year round fabric choice. That means holiday seasons
can be interchanged when it comes to embroidery. So if
you would like to make this tea cozy in December with
holidays in mind, you can easily switch the fabric and
colours of thread! Or each accessory featured in the 2016
issues for that matter, can be made in all the same home
decorating fabric to match your décor.
The beauty of these mug rugs
and wraps is that they are
quick to make, can be adapted
to any décor and stitching,
and make great little gifts to
cheer anyone on your gift list
throughout the year.
Because these are quick and delightful projects to make,
create a set for yourself or for gift giving. Make more than
one and enjoy a seasonal line-up of each item.
The front and back this tea cozy, for example, are made
in cotton print, and the cotton lace is added with a silk
‘scrunchy’ for the top. Explore using many other fabrics
for the same project, such as wools, cottons, silks, laces,
linens, satins and felts.
Stay tuned for kitchen accessories in ANPTmag 2016
issues to include a table runner, cushions, sewing
machine cover, and more home décor ideas. Watch for
quilting, machine embroidery, serging, felting, specialty
feet and stitches and of course software to be included in
all of these future fun creations.
Explore the freedom to adjust the patterns to your desired
sizes and shapes if you like, and most of all have fun with it.
