Scrap Happy Coffee Container Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Scrap Happy Coffee Container
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach Crochet
I Am Starting A New Series Called
"Let's Recycle"

I am finding items like containers and jars,
 that we through away, looking for ways to reuse
 them and incorporate Crochet and Crafts into it.

The Scrap Happy Coffee Container is easy and fun
 to make, and also has a lot of different uses for it.
A yarn "bowl", and a plant and flower pot. 
It makes a great storage container for lots
 of different things.



I designed it using the Scrub It Yarn from
 Hobby Lobby, using up some leftover 
yarn scraps. So I can even use it outside, 
since it is designed to get wet. I can put my garden
 tools in it or use it as a flower pot, or
hanging flower basket outside.


The Container is a 24 oz. Coffee container from
 Aldi. The Folgers and other brand containers will
 work great also,since the are about the same size.
Do not throw out those left over coffee containers away,
 let's make them pretty and useful.

Scrap Happy Drying Mat And Towel Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Scrap Happy Drying Mat And Towel
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs



It's Scrap Happy Crochet Pattern Day. 
I designed the Drying Mat and Towel because 
I needed one. Yes, I do have a great dish washer,
 but there are always things that I want to wash and
 dry by hand. Like crystal glasses, cast iron skillets,
 and sharp chopping knives.


I wanted it to be made out of thick cotton, 
so, I used 2 strands held together. Once the items are dry,
 I can fold up the mat and place it in the towel drawer.
It's also thick enough to be used to dry some of the items, 
that I want to just quickly dry and put away.


I also wanted it to be designed with bright colors to 
match my kitchen style. I love it!
It stitches up so fast, and looks bright and cheerful
 when out on the counter.
It can be used as a table runner and placemat, as well,
Just by adjusting the size s needed.
