So what did you do with your summer???

I was lucky enough to have the month of July off...no work and no children! So I decided to get a handle on my scrap fabrics. I had fabric on my bed, table and in ziplock bags. I really hate throwing fabric away. If the fabric is at least 2", I use it. So this is what I came up with:

Yes that's right, potholders with ric rac. I placed these in my Etsy shop and they sold right away:-)

Then I started making some wonky log cabins (I really hate to do things the way you're suppose to). My daughter had a bunch of jeans she outgrow so I combined the two together. What do you think? Fashion forward? I got two thumbs up from both girls on the design.

Finally, I had this fat quarter of watermelon seed fabric for about ten years. School was starting soon so I thought about making a pencil holder (I looked at the prices for them in the store and they were $3.95!). This what I came up with:

The Watermelon Pencil Holder came out so great that I made it into a pattern. You can get this pattern for free by going to Grace Full Creations and signing up for free.

Have a creative day,
