Day 27 of 30 Days of Giveaways Roc-Lon Multi-Purpose Cloth and Osnaburg Muslin

IHAN's 30 Days of Giveaways
Anniversary Celebration
Day 27

If you missed the first post about Roc-lon Multi-Purpose Cloth you can see it hereIHAN held a Roc-lon Multi-Purpose Challenge last year and we had lots of great entries.  If you are not familiar with Roc-lon Multi-Purpose Cloth here is a photo.
Here is another beautiful project using Roc-lon Multi-Purpose Cloth that was entered in the  IHAN Roc-lon Multi-Purpose Cloth Challenge
Table Topper
Small Cosmetic Bag
Both of these were submitted by Vickie Collier.

Vickie's description, "After lots of thought I really wanted to try as much as I could with this fabric
First I made a table centre piece out of some lovely Ginger Blossom fabric by Sandi Henderson for michael miller
I then photographed the mat and printed in on the Roc-Lon..and trimmed all edges with pinking shears
Then I machine sewed the zip in...
I hole punched the long sides and twisty threaded a green ribbon thru....
turned it inside out and machine sewed the corners across to form bottom boxing...
I hand sewed the strap and added some bling....then popped a bling zip pull on the zip..
Thank you so much for the opportunity to try something new..
I'm happy that I managed too use the Roc-Lon in several forms of craft(so to speak)"
Here is another idea for using Roc-lon Multi-Purpose Cloth

 

Check out this fantastic laser cut stencil using Roc-lon Multi-Purpose Cloth Laser Excel has a fantastic site with tons of ideas for cutting stencils.  The Multi-Purpose Cloth is soft and flexible.  It is easy to use on flat, curved or oddly shaped surfaces. It doesn't frey and is durable which allows for intricate designs to be cut.   I think this would be an excellent resource for designs you may want to use over and over again.  It would create very interesting layering effects too.

Rockland Industries have not only sent the Multi-Purpose Cloth but some wonderful Osnaburg 100% Cotton Muslin too!!! 


Osnaburg Muslin has the look of Linen.  It is wonderful for making Chenille blankets, clothing, rag quilts, primitive doll making, curtains, decorative towels and placemats.  Osnaburg Muslin is beautiful with Machine Embroidery as well as Shiva Paintstiks

Pat Smith from Up the Attic Steps has made this doll using Osnaburg Muslin

Pat Smith is a folk doll artist.   This is one of my favorite dolls she has made.  Who could not love this frog?
"I love to use Osnaburg in the creation of many of my dolls. The material has a wonderful texture and gives my folk art dolls an "old fashioned" look and feel."

There is a fantastic Chenille tutorial using Osnaburg Muslin to make a great jacket on Sheila Reinke's blog, The Heart of Sewing.  Sheila has made a beautiful jacket, hop over and check it out. 

Roc-lon Osnaburg Muslin comes in white, natural, gold, rust, sage, forest, red, navy, wine, black, bright green, hot pink, turquoise.  Click here to see the color chart.  It is pre-shrunk (5-7% Residual Shrinkage).

  1. Oh my goodness, that Osnaburg looks interesting. I did not know it came in colors but sewed with the natural decades ago.

    I would love to try it in some of my original purses. Each is one of a kind and ever so much fun.

  5. OOOOO...I'd love to use the gold Osnaburg for siggie blocks instead of the plain colored muslin I have been using. I'm not sure yet what I'd use the other colors for, but I'd surely come up with something good....maybe make some quilt blocks out of them and turn a few of them into "market" bags!!!

  6. I would love to make some bags with this fabric, it looks lovely to work with.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Sounds like this fabric has many uses but think placemats would be nice. Those colors would look great in my kitchen.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I would like to win and give this a try. While I have several ideas, I'm thinking of using some paintsticks and machine quilting, to make a colorful purse. But I typically have the fabric speak to me, to tell me what it wants to become, before I finalize my plans.

  10. I have read rave reviews about Roc-lon Osnaburg Muslin online, without knowing how to get some ( NOW I DO!!!) I have been making japanese ZAKKA and would love to expand using Osnaburg as I am not pleased with the linen I can find in my corner of the world.

  11. Congratulations on one fantastic year!! If I won the 4 packages of Roc-Lon Osnaburg Muslin I would use it for stitcheries - I have used it before and LOVE it!! Right now I am embroidering baskets onto the Osnaburg Muslin and love the effect!! They will form blocks to a quilt I am making... Oh...I would put it to good use!!

  24. Muslin is so multi-purpose it is hard to say how I might use it, but it most certainly would get used. Maybe as bag liners, especially if it had the multi-purpose cloth to go with it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I have only ever seen it in white! I would use it to complement the bags and wallets I enjoy making, as well as belts.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I have a great wall hanging floating around in my head which I would love to try the Osnaburg Muslin as the back drop to a machine embroidered flower arrangement.

  27. I have heard of this muslin, all good things, and I love using muslin for my tea cozies, Christmas stockings, table runners, etc. I'd love to give Roc-lon Osnaburg a try and see for myself what all the fuss is about. I hope my local fabric shop carries it, because I'm sure I'll be hooked!

  33. So many people have posted about using Osnaburg for machine embroidery, but again it's one of those things I just can't seem to find. I'd love to use it to embroider my holiday cards on!

    Thanks for the super month!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I would like to try it for a jacket. I've seen some really cute patterns and think it would work well.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I would love to win these four packages of Roc-Ion Osnaburg Muslin. I especially love the wine and gold colors.

    If I was lucky enough to win, I'd use it to make napkins and placemats as gifts. I think this muslin would look perfect with some embroidery as embellishment. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I didn't know the Roc-lon Osnaburg Muslin came in colors. I'm a doll maker as well as a quilter, so I can see lots of possibilities. I've bought their regular muslin by the bolt for my fabric dyeing and surface design stuff.

    I'd also consider getting back into stichery. I've always loved cross stich on Osnaburg and I can see all kinds of possibilities with the colored stuff.

  46. I am a doll maker and I also love to do stitcheries and this fabric would be wonderful for either of these...

  51. I love the Roc-lon Osnaburg Muslin, and just happens I am almost out of the natural, so i would love to win the 4 packages. Never used the colored before just the natural:)

    Hugs,

  52. I would love to try the Roc-lon Osnaburg Muslin for a quilted pillow and probably a purse lining. It's such a neat texture. I have a feeling I'd buy more of that once I try it!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I have all of my Mom's doll patterns and would love to make some for my granddaughter using some of your great giveaway fabric.
    Thanks again, Kelly.

  54. I didn't know Osnaburg came in colors! I've used the natural for several projects in the past. I would use the fabric for making Renaissance Faire costumes - Osnaburg has the right period weight and look for the costumes.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I've seen a lot of patchwork made into quilts/purses/apparel, etc. with a combo of cotton prints and lovely solids to set them off. I'd like to try several projects of that type with those colors.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I would like to win all 4 packages of the Roc-lon Osnaburg Muslin (Navy, Natural, Wine and Gold) because it is a premium, easy to sew upon, quilt backing fabric. These packages of Roc-lon Osnaburg Muslin would be wonderful as backing for a "tattered pioneer" ragged edge homespun lap quilt that my mother is making. The colors will match perfectly. Would be great to surprise her! mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com

  57. I am always lloking for new products to try and I havent tried this muslin...I make all kinds of fabric art so I am sure I could find the perfect use for it.....

    ReplyDelete
  58. I would use it as a neutral in a scrappy patchwork quilt, try it in a bag or tote, make a placemat, and maybe even in a garment or two. thanks for the chance to give it a try!

    ReplyDelete
  59. love both products. I am not familiar with the Multipurpose Cloth. It looks very interesting so I think that would be my choice to win just to try it out. The muslins are beautiful and i like to quilt so that would be something else I could use, especially in a crazy quilt I'm putting together, the colors are perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  60. didn't know it came in colours...love to enter the giveaway! thanks

    ReplyDelete
  61. I would love the chance to make a wall hanging to cover the 47" television in my room. And Roc-lon Osnaburg Muslin would be perfect to make it out of. Who wants a television that size glaring at you 24/7/365. pamspinks.blogspot.com

  66. I am not sure what I would make yet, however I am very excited about possibly winning the Roc-Lon Osnaburg Muslin. A new product for me for sure, and I just positively love challenges.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I had heard of the Osnaburg Muslin and had just never searched for it. These are amazing colors and happen to be my cabin-y Christmas colors. Also, I think it would be perfect for the embroidery patterns I have that go in a woods-y, fishing cabin quilt.

    More Happy Day 27!
