Do you LOVE making fabric yo-yos using the new Clover Quick Yo-Yo Makers?
Here’s a great gift idea! If you have the JUMBO and Large size Yo-Yo Makers, you probably already have everything else you need to complete this project.
Yo-Yo Placemats are a sure fire way to add color and interest to your table. Make them totally scrappy; or contrasting 2 color; or single color scrappy; or any way you may dream up.

If you subscribe to the eNews or if you’ve read this blog for very long, you know that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE fabric yo-yos.
It’s true…when Clover came out with the Quick Yo-Yo Makers, I was completely hooked!
I love this cool tool sew much that Jeff & I made a couple tutorial videos:
Here’s a tip to build up your fabric yo-yo stash rather quickly:
I personally use multiples of every size & shape Clover Yo-Yo Maker. I store the Makers pre-loaded with fabric. That way, when I sit down in the evening or over the weekend I’m ready to stitch up as many yo-yos as I feel like stitching. I keep a bag of fabric scraps handy to reload fabric into the tool as soon as I complete a yo-yo. I sort the finished yo-yo’s by shape and color.
Yo-Yo Makers are portable!!! When I know that I’m going to be traveling, I pack up my pre-loaded Yo-Yo Makers in Gallon size freezer bags.
The other day I discovered that Clover offers several FREE pdf projects for yo-yos. Check out these fun projects:
Enjoy!!
