Crafting Quilted Jam Jar Covers: Adding a Touch of Whimsy to Your Preserves

Quilted jam jar covers are a delightful fusion of practicality and creativity in the world of preserving. These charming fabric creations breathe new life into small scraps of checked or gingham fabrics, offering a charming and eco-friendly solution to both preserving your homemade jams and showcasing your crafting skills. Whether adorned with sweet strawberry motifs or other fruity designs like raspberries and cherries, these covers add a touch of whimsy to your pantry shelves.

The intricate embroidery, beading, sequins, and button details bring each cover to life, turning a simple jar of jam into a work of art. Not only do these quilted covers preserve the freshness of your jams, but they also infuse a dose of homemade charm into your kitchen, making every spoonful of jam a small, delightful pleasure.

Do you have small pieces of checked or gingham fabrics lying around? Here's a delightful way to give them a new purposecreate charming jam jar covers! In this project, we've chosen to appliqué sweet strawberry motifs onto our covers, but you can let your creativity roam and experiment with raspberries, cherries, or any fruit design you fancy.

Start Making Our Quilted Jam Jar Covers

Step One
Begin by cutting your gingham fabric into two squares. Following the appliqué steps, create your chosen fruit appliqué design in pink and green fabrics and place it in the center of each square.

Conclusion Of The Quilted Jam Jar Covers Tutorial

Step Three

To finish off your jam jar covers, use a pair of pinking shears to cut a circle around each appliqué design, ensuring it's at least 6 1/4 inches (16cm) in diameter. The zigzag edge will prevent the fabric from fraying. Finally, tie each cover securely over a jam pot using a length of narrow ribbon. 

With these steps, you'll not only upcycle your fabric scraps but also infuse a touch of whimsy and creativity into your homemade preserves, making them even more delightful to enjoy or share as gifts. Happy crafting!
