FREE Little Cottage Mug Rug Tutorial by Christina of The Sometimes Crafter
Everybody could use a new mug rug, so if you're looking for a great gift idea, or if you're just looking for some new digs for your favorite mug, take a look at this cute project from Christina of The Sometimes Crafter. More on this mug rug from Christina;
"...One morning, about 4am when my 2 year old decided to wake up, and I put him back to bed, I was drifting back to sleep and all the sudden had a vision of this little mug rug. Once I got up at a reasonable hour, I sketched it out and later designed the template.
"I not only liked the shape, but the versatility to do something with the windows and doorway. You could place novelty prints in the windows, use a wood grain print for the door, find window fabric to place in the windows… I could also see little flower boxes appliqued on, and bushes stitched on with embroidery around the base of the cottage. Someone might even be so inclined to stitch on some roof tiles or bricks on the chimney. Even better, at Christmas time make one with a string of lights on the roof and a tree peaking through the window!
"I’m linking to the template (click the button below) so you can make your own and I REALLY hope you’ll share a photo of it in my Flickr group so I can see all the different variations. This is one of the things I love about sewing and sharing – seeing all the different possibilities."
