Nice nod from Do It Yourself Magazine!

I am so excited to be source for oilcloth in my most favorite magazine!! I love this magazine so much that I have every single one I've ever bought. Some of you might call it hording but I call it inspiration.

The editors of Do It Yourself took some of our oilcloth and made a fun bucket apron.

If you have a copy of Sewing with Oilcloth you can use the garden apron pattern to make something very similar, just make two and tie them on.

Great Idea: Tote-able Tool Bucket

Do you remember this fun project from BHG's Do it Yourself magazine? We were happy to have supplied the magazine with lots of fun oilcloth for the project. We'll since it's summer I thought it needed a re-post! Grab your Sewing with Oilcloth book and make one of my garden aprons. Don't forget we have a special-priced combo pack of oilcloth for this pattern!

Tour: The Crafty Camper!

 

Yesterday I showed you have to make the Scrappy and Simple Buntings that I made for a very cool camper. Well!! Today, we are going to tour that Crafty Camper! Please note that the photos below where shamelessly swiped from Kelly Elko's wondrous blog, Eclectically Vintage. All photo credit's go out to Kelly, the other Kelly! Here's her tour post!

These photos were take at the Philadelphia Home Show, where Denise from The Painted Home, debuted her Crafty Camper. As you can see below I had a fun decking out the 1972 Shasta with Modern June goodies!
 
 Aren't my oilcloth and chalk cloth banners fabulous swinging off this camper?

I made a few specialty pillows out of oilcloth for the camper too. More about them soon! Our regular  oilcloth pillows are available on our new website, ModernJune.com!

I also made the camper some oilcloth seat cushions using my pattern in Sewing with Oilcloth! The laminated cotton throw pillows are made using the pillow cover pattern in my latest book At Home with Modern June. My pillow cover pattern uses an invisible zipper--it's so easy that even I can do it! Those that have worked for me know that I don't DO zippers! (ie, I did them poorly until now!!)

Check out the Scrappy and Simple Bunting hanging on the window, what a fun way to create some interest, both inside and out. I can almost see them swaying in the breeze now!  

There is so much more to be seen! Again, check out Kelly's entire tour here! Then head over to the Crafty Camper website to see when camper is in your area doing DIY classes! Eek!! You can rent this as well!! Also, for the part I like best!! If you go way back to Denise's December and January photos on Facebook you can see some great before and during photos of the Shasta!

XOXOX,
Kelly
