This month at Curbly we’re focusing on sewing and fabric projects, so I wanted to start off with some really clever DIY fabric tutorials for the kitchen. The concepts may not be revolutionary, but the way in which they are executed is completely genius. And with a wide range of skill levels included, there’s something for everyone!

3. This “hot pocket” is pretty clever… it’s a double potholder that hangs on the handle of your oven. Here’s the tutorial. [Photo: Lindsey Johnston Allen]
4. If you prefer traditional potholders, these are pretty great – find out how to make them here. [Photo: Doodles & Stitches]

7. Isn’t it annoying how plastic wrap never stays put on your bowl of pasta salad? Here’s the solution! A reusable fabric bowl cover. Find the instructions here. [Photo: Raechel Myers]
