Renee Weber said...: that is toooo funny, I have been stalking your site all week in preparation for sewing some oilcloth goodies this weekend! I am totally going to make the toiletry bag, I have that I don't have one big enough to hold a regular bottle of saline solution for contact lenses. That's always the odd thing floating around in my suitcase when I travel!

Thanks for posting this one-stop post for oilcloth uses!; September 29, 2010 at 11:14 AM
Angela said...: I'm a beginner.. I wish I knew what oilcloth is! It's beautiful. I'll have to look it up.; September 29, 2010 at 11:21 AM
Tiffany from HOLIDAY said...: I really like the idea of using it on the stepstool in the bathroom - cute & practical.; September 29, 2010 at 11:25 AM
Mands said...: I am new to sewing and have never worked with oil cloth though it has peaked my interest. On another note...I think you need to giveaway one of those dolls you made with your Silhouette. SO CUTE!; September 29, 2010 at 12:49 PM
Leah said...: It really is beautiful! I'm considering a high chair makeover with it or laminated cotton...hmmm...; September 29, 2010 at 1:04 PM

Leslie said...: oil cloth projects look so cool- I've got to add one to my to do list!; September 29, 2010 at 2:24 PM
cd said...: With a new baby, I kinda wish every cloth in my life were oil cloth. At least all my clothes. Specifically whatever I'm wearing as I hug the kid goodbye before I leave for work because that's when IT strikes (it being the bodily fluid of her choice).; September 29, 2010 at 3:53 PM
Tong said...: love the bath seat! but with a pretty one like that, i don't think i can ever bring my butt to make contact with it!! so it'll probably just look pretty in the corner.; September 29, 2010 at 3:55 PM
Fay said...: I think these are so adorable! And the fabric is absolutely to die for!!! Great eye candy.; September 29, 2010 at 4:33 PM
Pam Burrus said...: I use it to make bibs (soooooo easy to wipe off) and drop cloths under my kiddo's high chair. I'm going to make her a chair cover too (her high chair sits on a regular chair) so the food doesnt get on the chair seats!! Love the stuff and LOOOOOOOOOOVE these yummy fabrics!!!!; September 29, 2010 at 5:01 PM
kendall said...: Ooh! I never thought about covering a little seat for my bathroom! My husband and I always talk while I am in the tub, so that would be perfect!; September 29, 2010 at 10:13 PM
jessica said...: I love the oil cloth book cover! I've been scouting out good fabrics to do some cloth-books in. Thanks PB!; September 29, 2010 at 10:44 PM
ghislaine said...: Nice. I think another good oilcloth project would be oilcloth bibs! I am going to have to try that toiletry bag one day. Have always loved that tut.

Love Fabricworm. My favourite source for fabric :).; September 29, 2010 at 10:48 PM
Victoria said...: Love these ideas!

Over in the UK Cath Kidston does gorgeous oilcloth fabrics. I'd love to make the toiletry bag., and if I had a stool for the bathroom I'd definitely be covering the cushion - great idea!; September 30, 2010 at 2:05 AM
beth said...: Since I haven't been reading since your inception - it's nice to see these posts every once in a while - LOVE oilcloth - got some in the Netherlands last summer...; September 30, 2010 at 4:35 AM
