A new swap group focused on modern handmade goods for the kitchen. Think hot pads, aprons, table runners, place mats … And another secret swap.

Check out the flickr group for more photos.

So of course I joined.

After some safe flickr/blog stalking, I decided on making an apron and potholders with an owl theme. The main apron design uses applique and is double sided with a bright yellow lemon fabric on back.

This is a great apron pattern because the neck and straps are all one piece so you can easily adjust for any person – much easier with a secret partner and no measurements!

And the owl potholders are my “classic” set which have been blogged before – they seem to be making a hit as more have been requested for purchase!
