A {summer} Table Tidbit

You all know I'm following the Zakka sew-along, and our project for next week is . . . potholders! I was thinking that there's not quite a week left in the Tuesday at the {summer} Table celebration, so if you don't happen to be a foodie and don't feel like sharing table talk, then maybe a quick and easy kitchen project might be fun. So do you want to sew along while I make my Zakka potholders?

I'll be making potholders similar to those first ones in the mosaic below. But I've got lots of other ideas for you, if you don't have the Zakka book.

Here are the blog links to the projects above, some of which have tutorials:

Whoa! That's alot of potholders! Find anything there that's tempting you? If so, whip up a set and link them up HEREDue to a minor miscalculation on my part, the link-up will actually close next Wednesday night. So I'll be choosing a random winner Thursday, June 28. Sorry 'bout that!

If you forgot there were even prizes, you can check them out here. And do check out the recipes and projects already linked up. We've been having a good time gathered around the table!

  2. Oh, you have given me the incentive to get making! I wonder whether I will have time to make some before I go away on Tuesday? Let's hope so! Now, which tutorial will I choose?

  5. Thanks for including my pot holder Debbie. :) I'd love to make some potholders and link up - in fact I've had Felicities tutorial bookmarked for quite some time so thanks for reminding me of that one! I'd probably need to buy some insulbrite though as I don't think I have any left. I'm sure my kids would love to accompany me to the fabric store. haha

  9. Every time I see some of these I think 'What a great idea' and then I see what my flatmate does to our oven gloves, and I think 'Maybe not' ;o)
