Aperçu du livre
Farmhouse Fresh - Jenelle Kent
Introduction
I first saw toweling from Moda Fabrics while browsing the Internet looking for fabric that was reminiscent of antique European grain sacks. I love the style, texture, and history of grain sacks, but they are a finite resource. So, my journey to find a substitute led me to Moda toweling. This toweling is hemmed along each side and is usually 16"-wide. It’s most often supplied on a roll, which means you can purchase any length of fabric you like, making it suitable for all sorts of projects.
All the projects in this book are made from 16"-wide, 100% cotton Moda toweling.The toweling comes in a variety of textures and colors, just like grain sacks. They all have stripes of different formations, locations, colors, and patterns woven into them. Any of the toweling can be used for any of the projects in this book; you don’t need to use the same prints I have, so feel free to experiment.
Part of the joy of toweling is the texture. Some toweling has thick, nubby parts to the weave and others are a lighter fabric. They are all a heavier weight than typical patchwork fabric, and their texture gives projects a sturdy quality, making toweling ideal for use as throw pillows, bags, and place mats or runners. Because of the thicker texture, it’s best to use a walking foot on the sewing machine when making these projects.
I am enthralled with the possibilities for using toweling. It makes fantastic tea towels that are very durable and also attractive, but you can make so much more than just towels. For a number of years I’ve been designing projects with Moda toweling, and now I have the honor of designing the toweling fabric itself. The projects in this book are made from a selection of both new and original Moda toweling. When I’m working with this fabric, the traditional woven stripe and rustic texture gives me immense satisfaction. I look forward to sharing my ideas with you, and I hope you will enjoy sewing these projects too.
