Honey Do Part II....

My husband was really happy with the table toppers I made for the brewery area.  So, he requested a pad for this drawer where he keeps the glasses for the brewery area:

He built this little cabinet with drawers and dividers.  The drawer size is 20" x 24 1/2".  Here's the little pad that I made:

Mostly made the same way as the toppers except that there is one layer of cotton padding and I just did a little bit of straight line quilting instead of diagonal quilting.

Here it is in the drawer with the pad.  A little bit disappointing as it was at least 1-inch short all the way around but he was happy and yes, I remembered to add the seam allowances to the dimensions.  The glasses fit back in the drawer.  I have a happy husband.  Now, I'm wondering what else he's going to think up.

Happy Stitching!

Honey Do List....

My husband rarely asks for anything.  However, he liked the topper for the coffee cart so much that he requested one for the sink area in his brewing area.  How could I resist?  He said any fabric would do.  So I picked a fabric that had been in my stash for many years and made two toppers for his sink area:

Now, he didn't stop with one request.  He also asked if I could make a baker's couche.  Yes, I had to look up to see exactly what that is.  I had some undyed duck canvas which should be ok.  Here's the version that I made:

Now the next time he decided to bake bread, we'll find out if using the duck canvas was a good idea. Interested in knowing how to use a baker's couche?  There are lots of videos on youtube.

This is easy sewing at it's best.  The couche just needed a hem and the topper were almost as easy.  Finished project in no time.

Do you make things for your husband?

Happy Stitching!
