Well, I tried and I tried and I tried (extra emphasis intended because I like to exaggerate) to find a craft that did not involve any sewing. I would really like to stretch my crafty-skills by trying something different and new, and I think my sewing machine and I need a little break in our relationship. You know the saying, "Distance makes the heart grow fonder"? I think that applies to objects too - like sewing machines. But as I was searching the endless supply of crafting blogs and websites for a nonsewing-related craft, I came across this easy little tutorial for a kitchen towel that I couldn't pass up. I immediately thought of all the possibilities this idea could lead to:
- a tea towel gift for grandma and grandpa with the girls' handprints
- a beach towel gift for each girl with their name ironed/sewn on rather than a handprint
- a hand towel for the girls' bathroom with their name
- a handprint ironed/sewn on a fabric rectangle and framed for wall art
So . . . two things I need from you - please, please, please (extra emphasis intended because I'm begging):
1) Does anyone know if the heat and bond stuff used in this project is washable. I guess my assumption is that it is washable, but you know what assume means . . . if you don't, you're probably better off.
2) Does anyone have any good ideas for nonsewing-related crafts? I would love for my ninth craft till Christmas to not involve sitting at my sewing machine.
Craft on!
