Summer Organizer Video Tutorial & Fabric Giveaway


Recently I was asked by one of my favorite sponsors,


if I would make a video tutorial for their new YouTube channel, Sew Timeless.  They asked for an outdoors eating-themed project to go with their new fabric collection called Fruit A La Carte, so I created this Roll-Up Silverware Organizer.  


This was my first video tutorial, but a lot of fun to make & it's so cool to see it up there!



I designed this project so it's easy enough for a beginner to create and this handy organizer makes it simple & stylish to transport all your serving stuff to the patio, park or anywhere else you want it to go.  Much cuter than tossing your utensils in a boring old bag:



Timeless Treasures also gave me some of these fab fabrics to giveaway to a lucky Sew Can Do reader so you can make your very own Roll-Up Silverware Organizer (or whatever else you feel like making).

The giveaway winner will receive a Fruit A La Carte by Hoodie fabric prize pack, courtesy of Timeless Treasures consisting of:

- 7/8yd of Pineapple on Aqua Cotton Fabric
- 1/2yd of Chocolate Dots Cotton Fabric
- 1/8yd of Strawberry on White Laminated Cotton

The pineapple & dot fabrics are perfect for placemats, aprons, bags & more!  

You may remember the Strawberry Laminated cotton from my Strawberry Placemat Tutorial from CraftShare:


And the "skinny strip" cut of laminated cotton is perfectly sized for making wallets & coasters (see my super easy tutorial here).  Ready to enter?  

How To Enter:
- Head over to Timeless Treasures's YouTube channel, Sew Timeless and check out my video tutorial and then comment here on what you'd make with these fabrics.  Be sure to include an email address if it's not on your profile.

    I subscribed to the channel, 'cause it looks like it's going to be great! And I think I'd start with some mug rugs. I keep seeing them and really want some.

    I have a food drawer. Love to use it on applique pieces, especially for kitchen quilts.

    I'd have to make some pot holders for a friend of mine, this fabric is exactly what I'd been looking for

    I think that I'd make little coasters with the strawberry laminated fabric, and a little fabric basket with the pineapple and chocolate dots fabric. It can sit beside my coffee maker and hold the stuff I need to make coffee!

    I love the summery pineapples. It would be great for a set of coasters and a hot-dish mat.
