San Francisco’s Stitch Lounge is closing

I am heading to SF this week and was really excited about checking out Stitch Lounge. This spot was a breakthrough concept back when it opened 4 years ago- it was the first Sewing Lounge in the country (this is according to their website and although I do not though this for sure- am inclined to believe it because really 4 years ago how many people were truly even sewing?) Ah, but I just found out they are closing! Bummer!!

They still will keep their website and I’m told continue to post projects on it. In honor of their closing, here is the instructions to their very cool apron.

Christmas is one of those holidays that you just can decorate too much for. There’s no limit to the amount of holiday cheer you can bring into you home! There’s no such thing as too many Christmas decorations. You can bring Christmas décor into any room of the house – including the kitchen! Which is kind of fitting given how many Christmas activities and gifts are made in the kitchen. We’ve rounded up 13 Christmas kitchen accessories you can sew for your home or to give as gifts.

The list includes holiday themed hot pads, potholders ,aprons, and more that you can sew and decorate your kitchen all season long. Most are things you can make in an evening or less. These would also make wonderful hostess gifts for any holiday parties or gatherings you’re attending. Read on for the kitchen sewing ideas!
