Turn your Fab, Fat Quarters into a Sweet Apron!!

 

 

Aprons are one of those things...they just never seem like a bad idea! And when you can create a snappy looking REVERSIBLE beauty like this Jeni Reversible Apron with just a few Fat Quarters, well I can't say making an apron has ever been a BETTER idea!

 

 

A FABULOUS go-to project for gifts, home warming presents or for Christmas time! Give an amazing cook book to your favorite chef with this darling ditty and you'll be on their good list for life! Get crazy and make a whole Baking themed basket, complete with a new pair of mixing spoons (find some reasonable wooden ones and make them match the new apron with a little Mod Podge!

 

Such a cute and simple style but with those little details, it really sings! And when you're only using Fat Quarters, this is a great project to throw together whenever you need an awesome gift! DOWNLOAD THE FULL TUTORIAL HERE!!

 

 You've got to LOVE these Fat Quarter Gang projects from the fab folks over at Art Gallery Fabrics! Almost ALL of us have a more Fat Quarters than we know what to do with and their inspiring ideas are totally things we'd actually use, wear, gift or put in our homes! So next time you're at the Cabbage Rose and you're eyeing a new collection, just grab some Fat Quarters! There's SO many things you can do with these perfectly sized fabric pieces!!

Fat Quarter Project with Urban Mod!!

 

 

As you all know, we all go pretty bananas over Art Gallery Fabrics! And it's not just because of their gorgeous color ways and totally hip designers putting out the freshest looking prints around...their fabric just feels different! It's so soft and luscious, you can't help but want to rub up against these fabulous fabrics which is why we adore them for fashion projects but they are too good to stop at our wardrobes! These are the types of prints and colors you want to be surrounded by, so I may have squealed a bit upon seeing this Fat Quarter Gang project on the Art Gallery Blog!!

 

 

 

Utilizing a store bought shower curtain, you can give it a completely "unique to you" look without having to buy TONS of yardage!

 

What you'll need:

12 - fat quarters of Art Gallery Fabrics (Urban Mod Collection)

a cotton standard shower curtain measuring 72"x72"

coordinating thread

sewing pins

rotary cutter/mat/ruler

cardboard or card stock for making the triangle template, marker, scissors

 

 

 

 

I just LOVE the modern look of adding this patchwork panel to a shower curtain and its just SEW SIMPLE! What a way to add some punch to your bathroom! How awesome would it be to make this cool shower curtain, then sew some fabric strips in your favorite of the fabrics to some coordinating towels to make a matching set? You can sew them to the natural band that comes on most towels in the same way you attach the patchwork panel to the curtain. I think it would be a great Dorm Warming gift for any College Freshmen who will be going away this Fall!

 

Get the full tutorial here! And be sure to share pictures on Facebook if you make one!! WE WANNA SEE!! Happy Sewing!

All of these ideas are wonderful and I picked some fun ones for Christmas creating! Like these adorable Scrappy Stockings!! I just hung my store-bought ones the other day and have been thinking they look awfully sad! I may just have to make a scrappy pair or two this week!!
