We always did a pretty fancy Thanksgiving at our house growing up. One of my favorite parts was helping to set the table the day before before the main event. Mom would bring out her china, polish the silver, and iron the linens. She must have washed all the linens first and then set about to iron (mom, you can correct me later about this!) because I loved watching her transform things from wrinkly lumps to beautifully pressed fancy linens. My favorite by far was the fabric dinner roll holder. I had forgotten about this until I found one at an antique store and bought it up quick. I used it as a template to make my own.
I had this adorable Sandi Henderson fabric that I knew would be perfect for the Thanksgiving table and I mixed it with some vintage fabric I have around.
See? Cute! You can get the free tutorial here

I love the thought of taking these full of yummy homemade dinner rolls as a hostess gift. Actually, I would probably just make a cute roll holder and buy some dinner rolls!
This is the original roll holder that I found in the antique shop.
Here is a vintage one that I have in my gingercake Etsy shop.
Love that rick rack! A friend suggested using it to organize sewing stuff too. All those little pockets are so fun. Did any of you have these at your Thanksgiving table? Do you now? I would love to hear your stories about them!
If you make one and want to show it off, I would love for you to add it to my Gingercake tutorials Flickr page here.
Hmmm. I think I may need a matching table runner and some pretty napkins too!

WHY can't I download it? I have the latest version of Adobe and I never have had this problem downloading other tutorials. I think I have figured out that it is 3 circles but I would love to get the size needed.

I love these tutorial. In my country we usually have that to put bread in the table meals. I use it with cookies when I have friends to have tea.

These are so cute! I especially love the one with rick rack, love the material used and the trim just really sets it off. I owned a bed, bath, and kitchen shop in NM back in the late 70s early 80s and we sold these. They were similar to the white one you found in an antique store. If you live long enough, every thing does come back around. As a good example: the pointy toed, high heel pumps you see today. Some of those are exactly like what we wore in the 60s and 70s. Have a great day, everyone!

Yes, My mom had one and when her white lacy one became butter-stained, she made at least two more (I only remember two). My grandma called it a roll-warmer, but my mom renamed it roll-binkie (for blanket). When she made those, she actually sewed a flap on the top, it was only sewed on one side and kept the rolls warm longer. I only have the white stained one now, I don't know what happened to the ones she made. Thanks for the memories! The BEE one is adorable!

Adorable. Love the new versions, but absolutely adore the vintage one!

Just wondering how one would wash and press this once it was used. Do you think that the center folds would be better if eyelets (machine sewn) would be better there and ribbon put through so the whole thing would lie flat for ironing?

Just love this dinnewr roll holder. Will have to make some for myself and childern.

I have an original that I haven't used in years but it was made so you could tie it together in the middle and when not in use it could lie flat in the drawer. It also made it easy to iron because they didn't have a lot of no-iron material 50 years ago.

Wonderful tute and love your fabrics. I'll be making some for Christmas gifts and include a recipe for the rolls LOL along with the ingredients....
Thank you!

I only wish there was a pattern for the spacing I could print out, apparently I'm am challenged when it come to making 6th's. Once I get one done I use it for others but if/when I give the last one away "ARGH" it takes me for ever to get it done again. I love them tho, they do make the coolest gifts! Thank you

Love this! Just made one for my sister-in-law and am looking for excuses to make more. Thanks for the great tutorial!

This is so cool! Thank you so much for sharing!

TOO funny! About a week ago, a co-worker brought one of these in with mini-muffins in it. I had NEVER seen one before, nor even heard of it. It was made of thin cotton fabric, with a lace trim, and had belonged to her grandmother! I got so excited I traced it off, and wrote out directions for myself immediately. NOW here it is! SO EXCITED! For Christmas I plan on giving a set to my sis-in-laws that include one of these, an apron, and a casserole cover - all from the same fabrics! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for having a pattern I seem to have lost. Mine added ties to the center so it would lie flat. I used them for gifts and everyone really liked the holders for their rolls. Never thought to use one for sewing supplies. Thank you for the ideas and the pattern.
