Pretty up the kitchen!


My good friend and neighbour, Anna Rosa , showed me some tea-towels that she had prettied up for the kitchen. I love it so much I had a to try one myself, but took it one step further and made a glove and tea-pot coaster to match. A little rough, but practice makes perfect. What a great idea for pressies....

  1. How did you get the binding to turn the corners on your potholder? Whenever I try it looks messy with ugly kinks in the binding.

  2. Hello Tammy,
    Firstly I trimmed around the corner edge using a small plate as a guide to get a round edge. Then I cut the binding on the bias, so I was able to gently sew the binding around the corner stretching as I went. Cheers :-)

    Well done on your posts and your cleverly made pieces.
