Making a Fabric Dinner Roll Holder
I first saw this vintage dinner roll holder when another member was looking for a pattern to make one. I found one on the Gingercake website and referred her to those instructions, which are apparently based on an old Simplicity pattern. It was then that I decided I wanted to make one and post the project here on Thriftyfun. I hope you enjoy it.

- template to cut 12 inch circles, I used the glass tray from my microwave
- 2 pieces of contrasting or complementary fabric (100% cotton) measuring out at 12 by 36 inches or 1/3 yard each color
- coordinating thread
- scissors
- self healing mat and rotary cutter, optional
- small snaps
- sewing needle
- sewing machine
- protractor, compass, and ruler
- pencil, chalk pencil, or washable quilting pencil
- paper for making a pattern, if needed
- Prewash fabric.
- Using 12 inch template, trace and cut out six circles of fabric, three of each color, or in any combination as you prefer.
The drafting techniques used in this project can be adjusted to your skill level and available tools. Some self healing cutting mats have 60 degree angles printed on them, which would simplify your work. Unfortunately, of the three I have none did.
