Blog Tours: To Grandmother’s House

Hello and welcome to Inflorescence Designs. I am so joyful you are here!

Today is my day for the Sew a Story: To Grandmother’s House Blog Tour hosted by Jennifer Long from Bee Sew Inspired.

The “To Grandmother’s House” fabric line by Riley Blake Designs was so fun to work with. I chose to make some special kitchen supplies with the fabric.

Over the past year I have been perfecting my bread making skills and I noticed a lot of recipes call for plastic wrap to be used when proofing the dough. I am always looking for ways to be more environmentally friendly and using less plastic is high on my list. When a bread recipe called for plastic wrap, I would simply use a towel. However, when using a towel, my dough would always be very dry and crusty on the top.

Last summer, I developed a bowl cover for Thermoweb that used their Liquid Vinyl which eliminated the need for plastic wrap when covering my mixing bowl for proofing. The outside had the Liquid Vinyl applied but the inner lining was left plain, so it was safe for food. However, I wanted to take it a step further.

Not all containers used when bread making are circular, so I made a Liquid Vinyl cover out of a fat quarter!

I also wanted to make new fridge handle covers and the “Basket Weave Grass” fabric was perfect!

If you would like to make your own proofing covers and fridge covers you can find the tutorials over on Thermoweb’s blog! (available 10 am CDT)

Thanks for stopping by. Don’t forget to check out the other designer on the blog tour as well! Find the list HERE.

Happy sewing!
