Simple Sewing

I have about a gazil­lion (maybe a slight exag­ger­a­tion!) pro­jects of the go at the moment so today I star­ted anoth­er one.   That’s nor­mal and sens­ible and very quilter­ish isn’t it!   Luck­ily this one was very quick and I was able to get this simple kit­chen set made in just one day.

The oven mitt and pot hold­er are styled after the Liberty Tana Lawn set Rita from Red Pep­per Quilts made back in Decem­ber 2013.     I used a simple ran­dom patch­work of 2″ squares from a couple of Car­o­lyn Fried­lander­’s  col­lec­tions along with two of the new Japan­ese Cot­ton’s Ava & Neve recently added to their store.   The oven mitt is fully lined and was made by tra­cing a tem­plate off of one I had here at home.

To com­plete the set I used a store bought tea tow­el (dish cloth) and added some strips in two dif­fer­ent sizes to fancy it up a little.   Simple, quick and easy!

This set got popped in the mail this after­noon so I think I’ll make some more once I clear my sched­ule a bit, they’d make great host­ess gifts or even neigh­bour­hood Christ­mas gifts don’t you think?  I also think I need to make a set or two for myself because man oh man do the store bought sets I have here look super bor­ing after sew­ing these!

Have a great week.
