Scraps of fabric I have lots of ideas for, but scraps of oilcloth not so much.  Today I came up with a quick project for two 4" x 16" pieces, inspired by the adorable aprons my Mom made us for Christmas.  Now we look so cute cooking that we look disproportionately uncute when cleaning (which I hate to do anyway).  With the gloves below, at least I'll have a little sunshine in the process.
Pretty Gloves

An easy enough project:  sew a tube, fold in some eyeballed pleats, french seam them to the glove edge (so the oilcloth doesn't poke your forearms), done!  Mia loves them.  Now all I need to do is teach her to clean toilets.  Any other ideas for oilcloth scraps?  I could make 8 more pairs of gloves but that would leave me with zero excuses on the cleaning front and who wants that?
