I have been in an extra crafty mood lately and I must have berries on my mind. I made this strawberry jam cover from felt and it was a lot of fun. My friend, Clarice made a lovely rose version. I know a lot of you are making homemade strawberry jam this time of year and a jar with one of these covers would make a great Christmas gift!
Tiny strawberries with french knots.
And another strawberry on top. Please visit Luckykate Crafts for the great tutorial.
I was also looking through my fabric stash and came across a small strip of strawberry print that I've had for at least 10 years.
I paired it up with some red and white polka dot fabric and sewed it to the bottom of a white kitchen towel.
Thank you for taking a look!
I love finding treasure in my own home. Ones that were forgotten about. Then they are new all over again. What fun! Hope you are enjoying the sunshine!
