Random Quick Tip!

Sewn CD Trivets
You can make great trivets by using old CD's and heavy fabric. Make 2 circles of heavy fabric & 2circles of terry towel fabric 1" bigger in diameter than the CD.Then layer the pieces in the following way. Heavy fabric, right side down, terry towel, CD, terry towel, heavy fabric right side up. Hand baste the layers together 3/8" away from the edges being carful not to hit the CD. Then on your sewing machine, work a zigzag around the edges to lock in the frayed edges. Then you can use a decorative crochet thread or yarn and a hand needle to work a blanket stitch around the edge. Then if you wanted to, you can work a row of crochet stitches around on the blanket stitches.
