    About this ebook

    You can't tell by looking at them but each of these 32 projects takes 24 hours or less to sew! Ideal for people who love to sew but don't have as much free time as they'd like, the quick and easy patterns are also great for whipping up personalized gifts for the holidays.
    Full-color photos illustrate simple directions for making accessories for the kitchen, from pretty potholders to a reversible apron. For the bedroom, patterns include a duvet cover and a variety of pillows. Make terrific towels for the bathroom, and for the nursery you can create a quickie quilt, blanket, and bonnet. Projects also include Christmas ornaments that will help dress up your home for the holidays as well as an assortment of unique gifts — purses and totes, jackets, a vest, and more.

      24-Hour Sewing Projects - Linda Causee

      For the Kitchen

      Your kitchen doesn’t have to be dull. 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 you’re cooking. If cooking isn’t 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 you’ve made something original and decorative, as well as useful.

      fast, fun and fabulous projects
