Throwback Thursday: Recycled Bath Mat

Thursday, 10 July 2008 19:54 by sara

You may have seen Meg's great tutorial during Sew, Mama, Sew's Handmade Holidays.  I loved the idea, but given that it begins with cutting 88 squares of fabric, there was no way I could finish it during the holidays.

Since I had so much fun doing the patchwork pocket on the Kidlet, I thought I would give the bath mat a try for this week's Throwback Thursday project.  I'm always excited to try one of Meg's tutorials because they contain so much personality.  They're typically very thorough, too, which is probably a result from the Montessori teacher within her. Find the tutorial here.

The thing about bath mats is that it's pretty tricky to find one that's exciting. Right now, we use the standard-issue Target variety...a bit of shagginess in a solid color.  But isn't the bathroom floor a great place to add some color without being obnoxious?

This would normally be the part of the post where I would direct you to some adorable bath mats you can buy on Etsy.  However, I just couldn't find anything comparable.  Instead, head on over to Flickr and check out some of these.

In the meantime, I'll be working on getting those squares cut so I can show you my finished product on Wednesday!

I personally have embraced the new technologies and the CMS platforms, I think the new tools only make the web designs better. I am glad that new technologies are coming out in web design that make things easier, improved, and better looking for design.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Thanks!

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
