I know you all have fabric scraps lying around, jamming your closets (or is it just mine?) I grabbed a fabulous set of Martha Stewart flour sack towels ($12) and got started.
I cut some flowers out of the cotton fabric with pinking shears so that they wouldn't fray. Then I took an extra flour sack towel and cut it into four 5X6 rectangles, also cutting with pinking shears.
I hand sewed the flowers to the rectangle. I used a contrast stitch, because I like how it looks.Then, I machine sewed the rectangles to the towels, being sure to center them on the bottom half of the towel.
I really love the extra texture that the pinking shears and the contrast stitch give these towels.
And here they are, all wrapped and ready to go. Every cook appreciates a nice fresh set of dish towels. These are so nice, I'd use them in a guest bath!
Those are just beautiful! What a great gift idea. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I just bought several sets of plain cotton teatowels. I will get a search party together to look for my pinking shears and then I am going to try one. Thanks! Rhonda
ReplyDeleteLove it! I really want to learn how to sew! These look like a nice place to start!!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be cute to do acorns and pumpkins for the fall season coming up.
ReplyDeleteI started a new KNOCK OFF KNOCK OUT party and I bet you have some things to put in the party-it's every Monday. I hope you come over and become a follower and subscribe and I will do the same.
