The holiday season is approaching and now is the time to start sewing and making gifts for friends and families. Today I will be sharing a quick project which can be made in under an hour to brighten up your kitchen drawers and protect your non stick cooking surfaces.

1 x Summerville Layer Cake
1 yd Bella solid snow 9900-11
1 yd Flannel
Light weight iron on pellon
Fusible web

Baking Tray Liners ( 30 mins )

• Measure the baking tray. Record the measurement. For the purpose of this tutorial I will be making a liner to suit a 10″ x 15″ base. If you have have a smaller or larger tray, add 1/2″ to the measured length and width.

• From the solid cut 12 x 1 1/2″ strips
• From the print cut 12 x 1 1/2″ strips

• Alternate the solid and print and sew strips together
• Finished block is 8 1/2″ x 10″
• Make 3 blocks

• Cut each block twice on the diagonal

• Sew 2 triangles together to make a half square triangle (HST). Repeat with remaining triangles.
• Square each HST to 5 1/2″

• Arrange in 2 rows of 3 blocks each
• Sew together
• Finished top measures 10 1/2″ x 15 1/2″

• From the solid cut 1 – 10 1/2″ x 15 1/2″ piece
• From the iron on pellon cut 1 – 10 1/2″ x 15 1/2″ piece
• Press the pellon to the wrong side of the solid piece
• Place the solid and top piece right sides together. Pellon will be on the outside.

• Sew 1/4″ from edge leaving a 4″ gap at the top for turning.

• Trim the corners and turn out. Use a stiletto or pointed object to push out seams and corners.
• Fold under opening 1/4″ and top stitch 1/8″ around edge of liner.

• Trace the letters ‘BAKE’ (these can be found in the Printer Friendly file at the bottom of this post) onto the dull side of the fusible webbing
• Cut 1/8″ away from the pencil line and press to back of selected print.
• Cut on pencil line and peel of paper backing
• Position and press onto front of liner
• Using a straight stitch or blanket stitch machine stitch the appliqué.

Hint: These liners are meant to be scrappy in nature. There are unlimited block designs and scrappy settings that could be used as long as the unfinished top is 1/2″ longer and wider than the base of the tray.

Frying Pans ( 30 mins)

•  Measure the diameter of the pan including the sides.  Record the measurement.

• Join the two rows together.

• Cut a circle ( using a compass / pencil and string / large plate ) 1″ larger than the diameter, including sides, of your pan. For example, my pan measured 15 1/2″ from side to side. I would cut a circle with diameter of 16 1/2″

•  From the flannel cut a circle the same size as the top

• Place the flannel and top piece wrong sides together.
• Sew 1/4″ from edge using a shorter stitch
• Using pinking shears, cut around edge 1/8″ away from stitching.

• Cut a piece 6″ x 10″ from print
• Stitch to centre of liner
• Trace the letters ‘FRY’ ( these can be found in the PDF format for this project ) onto the dull side of the fusible webbing
• Cut 1/8″ away from the pencil line and press to back of selected print.
• Cut on pencil line and peel of paper backing
• Position and press onto 6″ x 10″ piece
• Using a straight stitch or blanket stitch machine stitch the appliqué.

• Cut a 5 1/2″ circle from layer cake
• Stitch to centre of liner
• Trace the letters ‘FRY’ ( these can be found in the PDF format for this project ) onto the dull side of the fusible webbing
• Cut 1/8″ away from the pencil line and press to back of selected print.
• Cut on pencil line and peel of paper backing
• Position and press onto liner centre
• Using a straight stitch or blanket stitch machine stitch the appliqué.

Two baking and fry pan liners to dress up your kitchen drawers and protect your non stick surfaces.
