Dress Up that Tea Towel

Want to tie some colors together in your kitchen? Put those colors on a Tea Towel. (Remember what those are? In case you’re new, there’s a better explanation here.) Add any sort of cotton fabric to the end of a tea towel for some instant beauty.
 

 

My towel measured 18 x 28 inches. I decided that I wanted my strip to be 2 inches tall and to be as wide as the towel, 18 inches. I added 1/4 inch to all sides…….and cut out a strip of fabric that was 2.5 x 18.5 inches. Then, I tucked under each side a 1/4 inch and ironed it flat. Then, I pinned the strip about 2.5 inches from the bottom (just eye it and place it wherever you’d like) and sewed around the strip, very close to the folded edge.

 

Okay, and then I just had to add a yo-yo from yesterday’s project. Hey, it might get in the way while drying those dishes……but who cares? It’s so darn cute on there.

 

 

Enjoy it. Oh, and maybe gift it. It sure might make someone smile.
