Kitchen Patterns… Useful and Colorful

Make a few useful items for your kitchen and brighten it up at the same time.  While you are sewing you could make a few extra and you’ll have hostess gifts on hand ready for when you need them.

Are they oven mitts or are they potholders?  They’re both! They’re Pot Handlers.  So easy to make and with so many opportunities to embellish and personalize you’ll get hooked on sewing these up.  You won’t be hiding these in your kitchen drawer…. you can make them so cute you’ll be hanging them out in the open to show them off and brighten your kitchen.

Add a splash of color to your countertop with a bowl full of Hot Fingers.   At 8″ x 4″ these are just right for quick little hot jobs… opening the popcorn bag, lifting a pot lid to give that stew a stir.  I know.  Too hot for stew right now. But it won’t be long and we’ll be lamenting the passing of summer, welcoming fall, and longing for a steaming plate of beef stew!  Embellish these to match your Pot Handlers.  Or add a small bit of applique.

The Grocery Sack Sleeve Pattern turns that unsightly mess of grocery bags that you recycle into a cute column of color.  It keeps those bags handy and easy to grab.  So much prettier.

You know that kitchen towel that you have hanging around?  Not the one that’s on the counter getting wet, but the one that hangs out pretending to be useful but you don’t really want to use it and mess it up ’cause it’s pretty?  Make a few extra pretty ones and then you can actually use it occasionally!  Prairie Point Kitchen Towels take ordinary towels and promote them to pretty.
