In just a few minutes, you can create some wonderful additions to your kitchen, and also extend the excitement into your dining room. Take a piece of novelty print fabric; add some borders, some batting, and you have created a beautiful wall hanging to add interest and beauty to your room. Make a reversible apron to use while youre cooking. If cooking isnt your only hobby, make the reversible side mirror another hobby like gardening or winter sports. Decorate your dining table with a patchwork table runner.

Add a set of matching place mats, complete with a pocket to hold your matching napkins. Take the fabrics you used in your ensembles and create a pair of potholders that can be used to protect your hands from the heat or let them just hang as decorative accents to the room. How about a fabric bowl to hold your favorite fruits? And finally, take some of the motifs from the wail hanging, affix them to purchased kitchen towels, and youve made something original and decorative, as well as useful. fast, fun and fabulous projects Perfect Picture Wall Hanging Approximate Size: 25" 31" Materials yard novelty print fabric yard yellow fabric (first border) yard red fabric (second border and binding) 1 yards backing craft size fusible batting sewing thread and invisible monofilament thread Cutting 1 rectangle, 18" 24", novelty print 2 strips, 2" 21", yellow (first border) 2 strips, 2" 24", yellow (first border) 2 strips, 2" 21", red (second border) 2 strips, 2" 27", red (second border) 3 strips, 2" 42", red (binding) 1 rectangle, 27" 33", backing 1 rectangle, 27" 33", batting 1 strip, 6" 23", rod pocket a piece of novelty print fabric, add borders, some batting, and you have created a wall hanging. time to make: about 3 hours InstructionsNote:Sew using a " seam allowance unless otherwise specified. 1.
