Yesterday I wanted to make some kitchen hand towels that you can hang on your oven or anyplace really that has a handle
I had made them before and I had made a pattern but I couldn’t find it.
It’s wasn’t hard making another one

I made this one out of cardboard. Hopefully it will be easier to find.

As you can see I’ve got two tea towels with chickens on them
They match the rugs I bought for the kitchen
These are for the farm house


I needed help choosing the fabrics
So I took lots of photos and asked my friend, who lives in Queensland,
To help.
We both liked the greens.
I wanted to use fat quarters that had some pieces cut out.
I didn’t want to use large pieces of fabric. Those can be used for bigger projects
The fabrics we chose came from the fabrics that I got from the lovely old lady.
She had cut bits of them for whatever it was she was making

I’m cutting the tea towels in half as they’re long. So o needed four topper’s
In my head I knew each towel needed to pieces of fabric
So I traced two pieces each.
But my brain told me to fold the fabric
So I ended up with eight toppers
I did sew those as well. I’ll use them to make Christmas presents.
I do like to start early.
Hubby arrived home around five.
He has taken control of the remote so we are currently watching a football show
Yep. Back to normal.
Are you memorializing the Demon Rooster in those tea towels, LOL? Love the green fabrics you chose.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, husband exerts control over the remote. Remote control. I was given a couple of those hanging tea towels a while back, and used them till they were threads. Mine had a crocheted top.
ReplyDeleteThe tea towels will be lovely. Clever girl
ReplyDeleteHusband has the remote control and is watching sport? Life in Australia sounds just the same as life in England!
ReplyDeleteMr B has the remote and it's motor-racing... Those towels are great. Funny that they have rooster.
