With all the babies in my family, I love finding sewing projects for them! Here’s a cute bib/apron = bapron idea from Craftiness is not Optional. Great use for those fun fat quarters!
Not that I need another project but the babies need cute bibs, right?!
Have fun and just keep stitchin’

Here’s a tutorial for making a floor cushion. Try using fabric scraps or orphan blocks! It can be any size, just use the appropriate pillow form. I would probably make a flapped back instead of a zipper, but that’s just me.
The “top” is quilted so you can use leftover batting pieces, too. The batting scraps could be sewn or fused together. Here’s a product to do that with!
Enjoy!

As promised in a previous post, here’s a tutorial for the dish mats! They are very simple and stitch up fast. You can make them any size but for this demo, I used a fat quarter of focus fabric and a slightly larger piece of terry cloth. I bought several yards of terry, pre-washed it and rough cut it with a scissors. Fair warning on the terry, it shrinks, so buy more than you think that you’ll need to allow for that.
Great for drying glasses!
Here’s a pdf version of my instructions Linda’s Dish Mat Tutorial . Have fun! Email your dish mat pictures to:

Update: I’ve revisited making Dish Mats! Here’s a new easier version with borders! Check it out here! Thanks! 🙂 Linda
Here’s a cute last minute gift idea – flash/thumb drive case – great way to use little scraps of fabric, too!
Are you ready for Christmas?!
