Kathy from HomeWorkshop.com is hosting a Frugal Fabric Fun contest, inspired by her Aunt Patty’s creative use of a yard sale tablecloth. She used the fabric from the $1 tablecloth to make 3 16″ pillow covers and a 40″ table covering, and still had a bit of fabric left over for another fabric. Think you can beat Aunt Patty? Then go to HomeWorkshop.com and read the rules for this fun sewing contest. Deadline is September 9, 2009.
