Fabric Canning Jar Covers
Materials Needed:
1.) Fabric Scraps----7 inch circles for wide mouth jars or 6 inch circles for regular mouth jars
2.) 1/4 inch wide elastic 6-8 inches long
3.) Thread
4.) Ribbon and narrow lace or edging trim
Directions:
1.) Determine jar size
2.) Raid your kitchen cabinets for lids to match the measurement you need and us them as a template.
3.) Trace the circles on to the fabric and cut the circles. At this time if you choose to use a narrow lace or edging trim this needs to be sewed on or glued on around the fabric circle's edge.
4.) Fold fabric circle in quarters and mark the fold lines.
5.) Fold your elastic in quarters and mark the fold lines.
6.) Match the elastic and fabric fold lines, attaching the elastic 2 inches in from the original edge of the fabric. Use a zigzag stitch to attach the elastic, gently stretching the elastic as you sew it.
7.) Place the cover on a jar and tie a narrow ribbon around the jar. Tack the ribbon in place if desired.
