Hello friends
I was asked recently to re-feature this project -
my iPad cover made from an Ikea tea towel!
They are purchased in a pack of two, £4.75 which is handy as one is for the outer pattern,
the other for the lining. You will see the hanging loop doubles as a closure.
I basically made a long bag and added some wadding.

The fun bit was decorating it with felt die cuts -
butterflies, Spiral Blossoms and Foliage.
Fabri-Tac is superb for keeping everything in place (less sewing then too!)
It need not be an iPad cover, it could be a jewellery case, cosmetic bag,
the list for recycling tea towels could be endless!
Some new goodies have arrived in the shop - pretty totes (with butterflies of course!)
new Card-io stamps, sets of miniature stamps to create
beautiful effects and backgrounds -
I have the acrylic stamp pegs/rods too.
Stop by tomorrow - FDD (goodness it comes around quickly!)
Take care friends.
Good morning Christine. I loved your ipad cover the first time round and it still looks incredible! Hugs,

ReplyDeleteMorning Christine
ReplyDeleteYour ipad cover is so pretty. I can't believe that it started life as teatowels. They look far too pretty to use to dry dishes.
The sun is shining here today and I hope it is for you too.

Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteYou do have some really good ideas your i pod cover is just gorgeous,
I am liking the New Oriental blossom stamps, and would love a demo on them and how you use the stick's when you get time as i know you are very busy ? { sorry if i seem a bit thick but they are a new one on me}
I have been completely out of touch with stamping for a while but fully intend to start again .
We have sunshine at the moment ,just hope it lasts .
Take Care

Morning Christine, love your ipad cover it is so pretty and summery.
ReplyDeleteTalking of summery, it is lovely and sunny outside. My washing is out on the line, hanging basket watered and it is not quite 7.30 am. I will be tired when I get to work, hehehe.
Looking forward to FDD tomorrow.
Enjoy your day.

Hi Christine. Lovely I pod cover. How bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteJust love the Card io stamps. I have some that are attached to wooden posts. I think they were the originals.
Love Val in Spain x
Lovely ipad cover and a great use of materials xx hazel
ReplyDeleteHi Christine. Great idea, using tea towels is so much cheaper than buying material and you get an original item : ) Such a pretty cover and the flowers are gorgeous. I am off to have a look at the new goodies, no doubt my wish list will be longer afterwards : ) Take care.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Christine,(another lovely day here in the South East)I love the tea towel ideas, your ipad/make-up bag is lovely.

Ps Congratulations Mrs B, you were quite the TV celebrity yesterday xx
Hello Christine. How clever of you to stock the card-io stamps. I fell in love with them at a stamp show and have been using them ever since. When you need a quick card they are magic as the patterns grow so quickly. I think I'd rather use new teatowels! xxMargaretxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea Christine ...with the tea towels...
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting ....
What a pretty and practical use for a tea towel! Much nicer than the job they were intended for.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty project, I'd quite forgotten about it!
Like Val, I've got three or four sets of the wooden post stamps and really like them! Great for decorating the back of the envelopes match the card too.
