Store It in Style!

I am in the process of organizing my sewing room. Aren’t we all??? These new baskets from Around the Bobbin are just the ticket.

The back of the pattern has an image showing the baskets when they are folded flat. I can’t imagine a time when they won’t be filled with everything imaginable, but one can dream – and store them efficiently.

The pattern includes three sizes. The smallest size can be made with fat eighths. The other two sizes can be made with coordinating fat quarters – and who doesn’t have a stash of those???

The baskets maintain their shape because they are stabilized with a fusible foam. This package by Bosal is 18″ x 58″ wide, enough to make at least 2 of each basket. (You already know you will be making more than one!)

The pattern will begin shipping in May. This would be a great craft day for you and a group of friends! Why not make a set for your next barbecue? Napkins, plastic silverware, and condiments will never look this good!

Bunnies!

Well…DUST bunnies. That is a photo of the dust bunnies you will be swiping away when you use The Gypsy Quilter® NEW Mini Duster. (I didn’t want you to leave the minute I introduced this great CLEANING product, so I posted something cute). Speaking of cute- this Mini Duster is only 7-½” tall and made of genuine sheepskin. Use it to keep your work surfaces dust-free. It will remove dust, lint, threads, AND cookie crumbs in one efficient swipe.

And while we’re cleaning, why not add these The Gypsy Quilter® Every Nook and Cranny Cleaning Tools. These can be used IN your sewing machine, whereas the mini duster should only be used ON and around your sewing machine. Silicone bristles are soft yet effective in cleaning your machine, as well as your home appliances and electronics. The variety of tips in the package gives you several options for reaching all the tiny, hard-to-reach areas. 

You know you probably haven’t cleaned your cutting mat in a while and those cookie crumbs often fall there too. So, while we’re at it, let’s get out The Gypsy Quilter® Mat Cleaning Pad. NO, it’s not to hold your cookie!

This handy little heart shaped scrubber easily removes dust and fabric fibers from your cutting mats allowing the self-healing mats to heal. Simply slide fingers into the opening and rub along the surface to easily remove fibers and dust that keep your mat from healing. The different ridges on the cleaner make this a hard-working scrubber.

Once you have cleaned and made ready your sewing and cutting areas, you can reward yourself with a cookie. Just eat it in the kitchen.
