Hello to everyone at Inspiration Café! I love being a monthly
contributor! My name is Marci and I blog at Stone Cottage Adventures.
I'm bringing you an easy sewing idea today!
Giving credit where credit is due, here's where I got the idea! Megin at VMG206 made gorgeous dish towels using fabric from a drop cloth! A drop cloth! They are ridiculously inexpensive for the amount of heavy weight fabric you are getting!

What an inspiration! I love LOVE the raw texture as well as how durable
and absorbent this fabric is. I pretty much followed Megin's
Instructions, just changed up the pattern to suit me.
'Wanna see? ;-)
The drop cloth I purchased had this stamp in one corner. It totally made me smile! So I cut the size I wanted and hemmed around the stamp! One dish cloth complete!
Then I started goofing around with my paint pens, some stencils and a ruler. Here are my achievements!
These were so much fun! ( I actually like the striped one the best.) Wouldn't they make a fun hostess gift! Just think of all the ways you could customize them!
I have actually completed THREE other projects with drop cloths now and will be sharing them at my lil piece of the internet, Stone Cottage Adventures! Come on over!

DeleteHi please excuse my ignorance but what is a drop cloth?
ReplyDeleteHi, Tracy! Great question! Drop cloths are generally used by painters. They are placed on the floor or draped over furniture to protect from paint drips. The fabric is thick and very absorbent. Please let us know if you have any other questions! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
DeleteI think I like the striped one best, too, Marci. They'll make great gifts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam! -Marci Stone Cottage Adventures
