THE VINTAGE CHRISTMAS by Amy Barickman of Indygo Junction and The Vintage Workshop. Get an early start on your Christmas sewing with this crisp looking table runner and placemat combo, designed and pieced by Laura Blanchard. Laura’s tips on pre-washing fabrics for home dec projects and using spray sizing to stabilize triangles make these projects a breeze to sew. Add a set of festive napkins from the nostalgic Santa or from the snowflake print in cheerful red. Then, stitch up a holiday apron from the vintage tree ornament print and add striped ties and a big pocket trimmed with rick rack. Check out Amy’s website at www.indygojunction.com for her Cook’s Cover-up vintage-style apron pattern, and her site at www.thevintageworkshop.com for CD-ROMs with artwork you can print on fabric or paper.
