Soap Holder Body Scrubber

This soap holder doubles as a body scrubber meant for scrubbing rough areas on your skin. If you want a softer scrubber, just substitute cotton yarn for the nylon yarn. When the bar of soap gets small, just tuck a new one in with the small piece of soap. So this is also a soap saver! In the picture you will see that I made two samples. The blue one is made with worsted weight acrylic yarn and the other one is made with nylon yarn.

Random Quick Tip!

Glue Basting Seams
If you want presicion piecing, without using pins, you can apply tiny dots of glue about a half inch apart along inside the 1/4 inch seam allowance, place your other piece on the glue and dry with a hot dry iron to set the glue. I would use only glue meant for this purpose or Elmer's School glue. These will wash out completely when your quilt is washed. Also you are applying the glue in the seam allowance and because you are using washable glue, your needle, in your machine will not gum up. This is the way I piece my quilts and have never had a problem. The tiny dots of glue, only need to be about the size of a head of a metal pin. Very tiny. This is enough to hold the pieces together while being sewn on the sewing machine.
