I put this gift together for my brother Cody, and his new wife, Brooke. I try to go the homemade route whenever possible and wanted to come up with a gift that was personal, yet very practical for this young couple.
Using the techniques in this post, I made an acid etched casserole dish as well as a large treat jar for their kitchen.
Using the technique found in this post, I made a soap bottle for their kitchen as well.
Then I added some of my favorite fabric to some white kitchen towels by simple sewing a band across the bottom of each towel. I machine quilted along the white vertical design so that they didn’t bunch up or look wrinkled after being washed many times.
Finally, a few boxes of cake mix and frosting and it was complete!
Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
Very nice! And very creative, too (:
This is probably a stupid question. But what do you mean by machine quilted along the white design? Obviously, I do not know a whole lot about sewing!
Can you tell me exactly how you did the dish towels? That is exactly what I’ve been wanting to do so that I can personalize my towels a little better. And also to make some match my awesome placemats you made me! Thanks!!!
I would LOVE to receive a gift like that – lovely.
What a great wedding gift idea! Now, if they bake someone goodies, the dish won’t disappear since their name is on it!
That is a beautifully coordinated and practical gift!
This is one of my favorites! It is personal and practical AND homemade!!! I love it! Thanks for not only posting your ideas, but also how to do them!!
