Pretty and Practical Things to Sew for your kitchen

Are you hoping to have friends over for parties, picnics, and BBQs this summer? If you are you need to look through these free things to sew for your kitchen. I just love an excuse to sew something new, and there's none better than sewing something useful. Save the environment with reusable cloths and paper towels – what a brilliant idea!

Cooking in my house gets messy and I like to cook wearing an apron. Like me, you might have one too, but after I saw these free apron patterns, I knew my old rag was surely fit to line the trash; I had to make a new one, and they are so gorgeous, I think I'll keep it on for dinner! Got little ones to help you out in the kitchen? If you need to keep them clean while they ‘help' you to cook, why not try sewing that sweet little oven glove, a chef's hat, or that beautiful owl cooking apron? The apron could even make a lovely gift, it's just so pretty. I might need to try and make one in my size!

Cooking is so fashionable right now, and your kitchen should be decked out to match. I love the cotton basket which could be used to store fruit or eggs and add a dash of color to the room along with bright table runners and decorative placemats. All of these fabulous kitchen sewing essentials have simple to follow instructions and pictures to guide you.
