Quick and Easy Seasonal Sensations

Season of Mists…
We’re having such a cool August that it feels as if autumn is already here! I’m drawing my curtains earlier every evening and recently I’ve been reaching for a jumper for the evening!
This unusually cool weather makes me think of autumn and the coming seasons, so I thought I’d better get cracking
and make some items for the autumn craft stalls.
Autumn Tea-Towels
I wanted to make something effective, but because time is scarce these days it had to be quick, so I bought some tea towels from a local linen store - they weren’t expensive - you could buy them from anywhere really, kitchen shop, home store, even the supermarket, and I attached some card making labels to the bottom of the tea towels. I thought they looked good.
Well that inspired me to go to the next stage! so having bought more tea towels, I sewed some Christmas labels to the bottom and I’m really pleased with them.
Christmas Cheer
They’d be fantastic to donate to your local Christmas craft show or to give to someone as a small gift. I’m going to bring mine out on Christmas day and put them in the kitchen to jazz it up a bit!
Now is the best time to start sewing for the autumn and Christmas craft fairs and there are so many different items you can make quite quickly and simply using these lovely labels.
