How about Ditty Bags??
You could do them in an assortment of sizes and fabric choices. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...c-t221233.html see Posts 297 for photo and 301 for instructions There might be some other ideas for you if you check thru all the posts on that thread too. |
I made a box full of these and everyone sold for $1 each. People will buy something for $1 at a benefit sale. Cut a roll of the non slip drawer liner into squares. Sew a pretty fabric square to one side, turn. Instant jar lid grippy thing. I used 5" charm pack fabric squares I didn't have a use for.

The one thing I made that sold the fastest was baby doll rag quilts. The ladies in my homemakers group asked how much I thought they should price them. I told them about $10. They thought that was too much and priced them at $7. I made 3. The first person that walked up bought all 3 of them. :)

Google microwave bowl holders. I am going to make them with 10 inch squares so very inexpensive and quick to make.

Putting fabrics in the microwave is not always safe. Those bowls and potato bags can catch on fire in the microwave.

The bowls are not for cooking but for heating up. No microwave shouldn't take more then 3 min. to heat soup. I sampled all kinds of batting in my microwave. Warm and Natural was the best of all I tried, it never got hot. Throw a piece of batting in the microwave and see if it is what you want to use.

I saw a "Quilt in a Jar" once. Thought it was a nice idea. She donor had cut the squares, drew a diagram, had instructions, had backing and batting cut, enough to make a pillow top. All stuffed into a large jar.

I have given many of these and they are relatively inexpensive to make if you go to a Dollar Store to get towels and potholders. They are very quick to make.
Basic Instructions: 1. Fold potholder and towel in half. 2. Stitch the middle of the pot holder to middle of the towel. 3. Use the ring on the potholder to catch on a button you add to the bottom of the potholder. Everyone can use more kitchen towel especially if they hang easily on the oven or knobs. |
