I saw this cute little vintage kitchy craft hanging in my grandmothers kitchen some years ago. I believe one of her friends made it for her - so I just had to update the look and make one for myself. Its so easy to make and so much fun to do! With June weddings approaching, I thought what a great little gift to give away at bridal showers or if you just want to have something cute to hang in your kitchen. Attach this little poem to the craft: There are S.O.S pads in my Bra But don't be misled They're not for you But your dishes instead So untie the bows & clip the stitches You've gained three dishcloths But lost you bra & britches

Attach this little poem to the craft: There are S.O.S pads in my Bra But don't be misled They're not for you But your dishes instead So untie the bows & clip the stitches You've gained three dishcloths But lost you bra & britches
The ingredients
Making the bra
With the dish cloth open, place the 2 SOS pads in the middle then fold over the top then the bottom -
almost like a burrito shape!
Finishing the bra With fancy ribbon gather the middle and tie off -
finish with a dainty bow.
Then on both sides of the SOS pads use some yarn to gather and tie off - just like as you did to the middle.
This will form the bra shape - very easy!
Making the pants With the other 2 dish rags you are going to make the pant legs.
Fold over the left then the right sides -
you will make another burrito shape - I'm getting hungry!
Finishing the pants With a needle and thread...
run a simple stitch about 2 inches from the top -
pull tight to gather then tie off in the back. Do this for both of the dish rags that you folded.
Adding the ribbon to the pants
On the bottom of both pant legs use that fancy ribbon to make cute little bows.
Gather the bottoms and tie off with the ribbon.
Attaching the bottoms to the bra With you needle and thread attach the bra to the bottoms. Add the same fancy ribbon to the top to the bra in a loop to make it hang on the kitchen wall. If you give this as a gift attach this little poem: There are S.O.S pads in my Bra But don't be misled They're not for you But your dishes instead So untie the bows & clip the stitches You've gained three dishcloths But lost you bra & britches Have fun making this cute kitchy craft for you kitchen or a gift.
