It's out! One fall pattern --- "The Place Setting"!

So most of the time I take a bit of a break in the fall on pattern releases. This fall has NOT been different from my usual slacker routine!
But I have released one called "The Place Setting"! I pretty much love these beautiful place mats. The backing fabric is made first, with the edges folded in a certain way to bring to the front to make the border or "window frame" for the front panel to be inserted into. Okay, I know that is confusing -- just buy the pattern  -- it will make more sense. 
To fluff up the pattern, we added the flower embellishment, the fabric napkin, which is made the same window frame way, and three sizes of bread baskets! Which are pretty cute!

Three sizes of bread baskets, 7" - 8" and 9"!

Next week, I will post the two other fabric options. So interesting to see how much fabric influences the whole style and feeling of a project.

My latest project for P215!

'The Place Setting' is getting pretty close to publishing. Here's the three fabric sets I am going to use. 'The Place Setting' features a place mat, fabric napkin with napkin ring, and three sizes of bread baskets. Pretty soon I will post the finished items. The place mats and fabric napkins are featured -- they are made beautifully. Can't wait to show!

Making Christmas gifts - such a great sentiment!

This ensemble is called 'My Other Kitchen' (P157). Great for Christmas gifts. Apron (reversible), dish towel, food gift bag white chocolate chip scone mix, oven mitt, wall pocket hanger, and placemat with napkin. The scone mix is my favorite item. Make the mix (uses white chocolate chips from the grocery store)  --  put the mix in a plastic bag, then place in the fabric gift bag. The topper template comes with the pattern; make a copy. The instructions for putting in the egg, etc is on the back of the topper. Add a spoon or gift card!
It is a great gift for neighbors at Christmas.

Made up in blues - the favorite color of most people.

It is always fun to see a project made up in another fabric.

Criss Criss - never get enough!

I never seem to get enough of the 'criss cross' technique!
