Chutes & Ladders Dishcloth

If you look very carefully, you will see wavy lines, which resemble chutes, and ladders on the rows. This is achieved using the same stitch that is in the Tissue Holder but instead of changing colors and starting each color change at the beginning of each row. This pattern is done so the piece is reversible by actually turning the work. This pattern could be enlarged to make a large afghan.

Plastic Templates
for Small Sewing Projects If you have a thermal laminator, you can use it to laminate a template made with cardstock, then cut the template out. You can use this template over and over as many times as you want! I am using one I made to make face masks for people who want them in my town. The face masks I am making are fitted ones with adjustable elastics that goes around the ears.
