So simple and so kind to the environment. I'm actually shaking my head as to why I didn't think of this sewing project earlier.
I jump on this as a sewing project when I spotted a version on the Java Works website. I knew I could make my own with supplies in the stash. And of course, I had to brew a pot of coffee to test it out.
Here's to saving the planet one pot of coffee at a time.
Project Details
Seams: 2.2 length
Seam Finish: Serged
Tips: If you know a coffee lover who makes their java in a drip pot, this might make a sweet stocking stuffer.
Fabric: 0.2 metres (unbleached cotton)
Pattern: A disposable coffee filter
Additional Tools and Supplies: Cutting table, scissors, tailor's chalk, ruler, sewing machine, serger, threads and coffee.
Stay Safe and Happy Sewing!
Interesting! I've seen reusable filters, but only the metal screen type. One question - wouldn't using it seams side out make it easier to empty out? Or don't the coffee grounds get caught up in the serging threads?
ReplyDeleteWhere I pour the coffee grounds, there is no serging threads. The serging is on the outside, sandwiched in between the interior of the basket. I only took a picture of both sides for visual purposes.
DeleteThe inside is actually the outside - got it! Most (all?) of my sewing results in seams toward whatever will be contained, so it was automatic to think that the seams would face the coffee grounds. Now, how to get DH to think it's not too much fiddling about to empty this instead of dumping filter and all....
DeleteVery cool idea!
