I've been on a hug sewing kick lately. Somehow I stumbled upon a tutorial on YouTube for making a cloth bucket hat. You just download the pdf pattern and follow the video instructions. The first one I made was denim. It turned out pretty nicely. The next thing I knew I had made FOUR MORE...and have plans for at least two more! The idea is great for using old clothes like shorts for the fabric.
The next tutorial I happened upon was one for cloth coasters...again, I used denim from old jeans and leftover fabric from some caftans I made for Scott and myself...
Then I found a video for making a cloth shoulder bag. This time I used the canvas drop cloth fabric I've been using for the furniture slipcovers. I created the monogram with denim and cut out the letters using my favorite old font "BabyTeeth", a design by famed artist Milton Glaser.
