Hey quilters...hop you're week is off to a great start and plans for sewing. I know the kiddos are out and for the past few years I've been hosting "teach the kiddos 2 sew this summer." The projects are fun...fast & fab...learning the basics of sewing right from your home. You don't need a fancy machine...in fact most of my small projects are sewn on my domestic Brother machine. He's just the right size for sewing and quilting. Starting out I'll be doing a "recap" of some fun previous projects that I feel is a great way to start. Sewing can be a bit intimidating but we'll have fun...I promise! I do want to suggest that you use a great quality thread. I truly love Aurifil 50 weight threads. It's very versatile for most of my projects and the color hues match just about any of my Batik fabrics. A win for me :-) My late mom-in-law once said "if you're going to take the time to make something special than use great quality thread and fabrics. Sew true! Well, today's project that I'm re-sharing is a fun beach towel tutorial (original post 6-3-23) You will have the options of two different styles of side pockets...learn the basics of sewing and piecing strips of fabric together plus no more fly-away towels. My design pictured features the two different pockets to hold items but due to the vinyl on one design you will need to hang dry. You can still make this design if desired by adding a velcro dots to secure the pocket to towel then remove before washing/drying. I hope you enjoy making your own towel to show off your fun creativity at the beach...pool or any summer fun activity. Check back soon for more inspiration for the kiddos. Talk soon!
Blessed Quilting from My Home to Yours,
Cat
