This summer the son of my dear friend is getting married. I wanted to make something for a shower gift and I immediately thought of the Coiled Rag Bowl. This bowl can fit any decor depending on the colors. I went to their registry at Pottery Barn. I made a copy of the stack of their towels, then I went out and found fabrics to match. (I realize the colors you see on screen aren’t necessarily accurate, but I didn’t need them to match exactly… just wanted the same feel.)
Here is the work in progress:
To get the complete directions on how to make a coiled rag bowl, check out last year’s tutorial for the Rainbow Coiled Rag Bowl. Although a bit time consuming, they are fun to make and the finished bowls are so beautiful, it is worth each and every pin pricked finger
What special projects are you working on?
Not really a summer event but my bestfriend is having her first baby this summer so I’ve been making her a basket of gifts, many of them from here. Right now I’m working on your hooded swaddling. I’m using a beautiful, hand painted, muted rainbow wool. I also made your felt ball and 3 nubby dolls. I want to make her a few bibs. I love your stacking birds applique and plan to put one of the birds on each bib. Thanks for all your inspiration! I have yet to try one of your rag bowls. Love the colors you are using. Want to make one for myself soon.
I love your rag bowls! I will have to make one (or more) with all my scraps of fabric.
Right now I am working on some felt poppies, and I want to make one of the felt pin cushions you posted. Now that our garage sale is over, I won’t feel guilty spending some time crafting.
Thank you for all your wonderful ideas and tutorials. I have learned so much from you!
