Follow Up - Show and Tell October 6th, 2021 Moda Toweling Projects

 

I've received a couple of reach outs since October 6th, regarding my Moda Lakeside Toweling Projects.

My Simple Lined Placemats, were my original design and the downloadable pattern can be found on October 6, 2021 post.  Be sure to download a copy of my complementary pattern.

The Origami Market Bag Tutorial was a project from Lola Nova dating back to June 25, 2013.  I modified the original tutorial to sew the seams flat.  The details for this modification are in my Show and Tell slides.  Here are the links:

If you are using Moda Toweling for your bag, consider my modification to use batting tape to hold the hemmed edges flat and together before zig zagging the seam.  

I also boxed the corners of my bag to get a rectangle shape for the bottom of the bag.

The simple bag without handles would be great for wrapping gifts, think Reusable Wrapping Paper.

As it gets cold outside, it's warm in our studios so Learn Something New, we have the time.

The Holiday Season has arrived!  

Thanksgiving is around the corner, Halloween is just a couple of weeks and dare I say Christmas will be here in just 80 days!

Today, I have a simple project using Moda Lakeside Toweling that is perfect for gift giving.

If you are like me, you have grown children that have just started to set up their homes and these placemats are perfect for a modern or urban country home.

This 100% toweling comes in a variety of colors.  With its loose weave, I would suggest that you prewash the toweling before you start.  

To give the placemats some stability, I have lined them with quilting cotton.  You can leave them plain or add some big stitch quilting or raw edge appliqué for embellishment.

Consider making a matching bread cloth for the table as well.

Here is the link to the pattern for the placemats:
