Dressy Kitchen Towels

Here is a great idea for kitchen towels that "dress up" your kitchen and are functional as well. They are easily made from a hand towel, a fat quarter of your favorite print fabric, a bit of lace and ribbon. To make the bodice simply fold a fat quarter in half, cut a small half circle at the fold  for the neckline, and round off the outer edges. Repeat with a second fat quarter. Sew the two fat quarters, right sides together, around the outer edge. Turn right side out and press.Use a zigzag stitch to sew the neck edges together. Cut a hand towel in half and sew under the two outer edges of the bodice. Add ribbon and lace of your choice, voila! you have your kitchen towel. They fit nicely over the oven door handle or on a towel rack. You can make some for each season of the year!

Good morning to all :)
This is a brand new day with brand new possibilities from the Lord, and I am going to start something new. This blog is something I've never done before but am very excited about. I follow a blog written by a very lovely school teaching lady in Australia and as a result of that following, I decided to start my own and share a little of life's experiences that have come my way as well as sewing techniques and ideas I have used.
I am a retired school teacher with a passion for sewing, quilting and also dabble in crocheting and knitting. In short, anything where I can create is what I long to be doing. I hope to ignite in others a little of that passion in the hopes that it will enrich lives everywhere as much as it has mine.
