Splish, splash!

Hello, everyone! Still busy, busy sewing over here . . . I’ve also been busy falling head over heels for Heather Ross’ Mendocino fabrics. They’re adorable, for one thing, and they come in the best color combinations! I saw them + immediately was inspired to turn them into . . . bathmats! And I couldn’t be happier with the results! Aren’t they fantastic? The perfect amount of retro fun for adults + super-colorful fun for kids, alike!

I paired up the Mendocino fabrics with some other really great fabrics to create the patchwork top panel + then backed the top with super-squishy, 100% organic cotton terrycloth backing. This stuff is absolutely dreamy to the touch–and I even added some squares of the terrycloth into the patchwork top panel so that you step onto cushy softness when you hop out of the shower.

And, look! Another great color combination–pretty blush, orange + gold! You can find both of these super-hip, super-fun patchwork bathmats in my shop now!

And you didn’t think I could stop at bathmats, did you? I mean, really, what’s a super-awesome new bathmat without matching washcloths? You can find a handful of patchwork washcloths in my shop, too!

Enjoy! + Happy almost-Friday!

    Squid! (Squids?) Verily, I plotz. I’m definitely keeping an eye out for Heather Ross.

  2. Sarah Says:

    Those are perfect for trips to the beach and pool too! Very cool!

  3. Alissa Says:

    Oh these are so great… and I couldn’t agree with you more about that Heather Ross fabric… isn’t it SO soft?? Love it.

  4. Laura Says:

    Jeez Louise, Megan, could you STOP?! If you don’t quit putting such awesome stuff in your shop, my already pitiful financial circumstances are going to take a turn toward the extremely dire.

  5. Kirsten Says:

    So cute!!
    I love that Heather Ross fabric. I bought a bunch of it at Purl. Of course mine isn’t sewn into wonderful goodies, it just sits sadly in the stash.

  6. Peacock Chic Says:

    so cute! I love the one with just the octopus bottoms.. hee hee :O)

  7. Alyssa Says:

    Those are super cute…if only i could sew.

  8. Sarah Says:

    I think the blush and gold one is my favourite :)
    You can just tell how plush they are!

  9. tiennie Says:

    What a great idea! Fantastic color/pattern combos!

  10. AJ Says:

    Those are adorable! Love the idea of the bathmats. I love the new Medocino line too, I bought some the day they came out!

  11. michelle Says:

    I recieved my autumn kit a few weeks ago & love love love it! Hubs is using the soap but the rest is mine. The bag is the perfect size for cards + phone +keys + work badge thing, and it’s small enough that I can keep it with my during the day (not in my gross locker). I was really impressed with the construction, too. Thanks!

  12. theblondeknitter Says:

    WoW, what wonderful fabric! i love what you created with them!
    :D

  13. Libby Says:

    hey, cousin! Guess what I got yesterday!?!? A brand new SPINNING WHEEL! My very first 2 ply is sitting in its warm bath as I write this. It actually turned out pretty good, but very bulky. I’ll have to work on spinning thinner yarn for you people who like socks.

    Anyway, anyone in your family who wants handspun will have to send me their snail mail address so I can mail you some.

  14. Rebecca Says:

    I LOVE that fabric! I discovered it this weekend at the local fabric store and have been pondering what to do with it. It’s too thin for a cute handbag, but perfect, I think, for cloth napkins or for quilting, as you have done. Beautiful.
