Hot pads and oven mitts are great, but sometimes can be overkill when all you need to do is protect your hand while holding a hot pan or pot handle. Time to downsize with a slip-on hot handle sleeve.
One of our most popular patterns ever! Made with all natural fibers, these bowl wraps can go right into the microwave. But wait… there’s more. They work just as well to protect your hands from too cold dishes, like ice cream.
So fresh and fun, we want to take a bite out of these cute kitchen towels! If you’re brand new to appliqué, this is a beginner-friendly design. A classic ticking stripe combines with muslin and rick rack for a perfect homespun combo.
Need a last minute gift? How about a super simple project for a beginning sewer? This kitchen linens classic gives you two projects in one: a set of napkins and a matching half apron in 100% cotton toweling. Pretty and popular!

Pretty towels are a wonderful addition to any kitchen for yourself or as a gift. This option is great for longer fabric scraps. Each towel starts with one 4″ and one 3″ strip, which are then trimmed to fit a purchased base towel.
These terrific towels start with a base of pre-hemmed toweling. To that we add deep ruffles in a variety of bright prints plus a pretty ribbon to hide the seam. They’re 100% cotton and machine washable… get ready to dry some dishes!
