Christmas Kitchen Towels
I wanted to share one last Christmas item as we move into the new year. With all the holiday cooking and baking that we do in our house, Miss Abigail and I need lots and lots of dish towels and hand towels. These hand towels were made from large, soft cotton napkins. They are 18" square. I like the smaller size. Because towels get wet and dirty quickly, I can reach for a clean one without creating a large pile of laundry.
Since I wanted to create something quickly, I sewed a purchased cluny lace near the hem on one side of the napkin and made a simple yo-yo decoration. Quick and easy and cute - that's what I like.

Very clever. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteSo Cute!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. How did you make the yo yo decoration?
ReplyDeleteLove these! How do you sew the lace on? Thank you for your attention to my comment. ❤️
ReplyDeleteThe lace has a nice straight edge on one side and I just used the sewing machine to attach it to the towel. You could also use hand stitching, if you didn't want to drag the machine out, with a small whip stitch across the straight edge. Or, you could even use a careful bead of fabric glue if you need a no-sew method. Just follow the directions on the glue package.
DeleteKathleen,
DeleteThank you so much for your quick response. I hope someday to teach my granddaughter to sew. It will be a while, since she is only 4 mos. old. Hey.....I could start a hope chest for her now!!! (My mind works so slow!)
Again, thank you bunches!
