I have a love/hate relationship with pinterest. Just when I have about caught up with my latest project someone posts a pin that has me gathering supplies from online stores for a new project that I may or may not get to. Hence the pile of fabric, paint, and misc. supplies piled around my sewing room.
But once in a while I have gotten so excited about a pin I actually start right in on it as soon as that wonderful brown truck leaves my driveway. Like this pastry cloth from Cami from Tidbits I saw a few weeks ago.
HAD TO MAKE THEM! Well actually had to make 5 of them. I used to have one as a new bride but when it finally fell apart I never replaced it. But my old one didn't have those cute red stripes down both sides that look like a vintage tea towel. And it wasn't two layers thick either. Cami walks you through the construction of the pastry cloth with pictures. Yipee!
You can't see it in this picture but the fabric paint I used has glitter in it!!!!! That can't hurt you if it gets in the pie crust, right? Maybe I better flip it over and use the unpainted side. Though I have scrubbed at that red stripe and not one bit of glitter has come off. Plus, one can never have enough glitter in one's life, even when one is elbow deep in bread dough. Note the use of the royal "one".
Check out these vintage cutters. Love the wood handles.
Unlike Cami from Tidbits, I only used one row of top stitching. Guess I'm lazy that way.
I made my clothes to a finished size of about 23x28 inches. Just the right size for my counter tops.
I also made some cute tags to give away with the cloths.
Hope you feel inspired to make one (or 5) yourself.
