Not that I am cheeky or anything, but I opted to go simply for 'Tea' and to decorate a bargain tea towel from Tesco; I am British after all!
I got the binding stitched down whilst at my Mum and Dad's yesterday, and then promptly gave it straight to my Mum for keeps; out of sight, out of mind when it comes to using it on actual dishes!!!
I googled for a teapot template and happily found this.
This was a totally quick make, a great gift idea, and had I thought more deeply about it, I could have gone more masculine and given it as a not-so-subtle Father's Day gift to dear hubby! Dammit!
Linking with lovely Lindsey once again x
PS. Thank you all so much for the Marcelle Medallion love - I will try to work my way through my chocablock Inbox later!
Really really cute! Nice to gift it to mom right away - that's what happens to most of my littles! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely tea towel I may even consider doing the washing up if mine was that lovely!
ReplyDeleteFab, and nice to show you're honouring your britishness! :o)
ReplyDeleteIt's far too nice to actually use so it'll have to have a stunt tea towel lurking in the background that can step up and dry dishes when called upon...
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love how you changed it up to suit you!
ReplyDeleteI love the cheap tesco approach! You are restoring my faith in sewing-kind!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab idea! So simple (not to mention cost effective!) and yet brilliant. Love it :-)
ReplyDeleteCute! I was thinking of doing a 'Dad's Day Towel' too but ran out of time!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great rendition. I actually skipped this week's projects and made another set of the coasters. :)
ReplyDeleteI would totally take the Tesco option too.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, that would have been a great Fathers day gift
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty! The male one should read 'this is what an oven looks like!' Jxo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Lucky mum.
ReplyDeleteSo seet - love that teapot applique so much!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to make all the projects in the book?This is really cute
ReplyDeleteAhh you missed a trick there with the Fathers day gift ;-)
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute! This would be a great house warming gift too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea - will mum use it for the dishes?
ReplyDeleteLol, love the idea that you won't see it being used on that still slightly tomato stained saucepan or grill pan ;o)
