Kitchen Towels


A good friend of mine just moved back to the east coast from California and I wanted to make her a simple housewarming present. These towels are really easy to make and who doesn't love a pretty kitchen towel?


I measured a towel I had, added 1 inch to each side, then used this tutorial to do the mitered corners.

Added some twill tape at the corner.


Beautiful.

  2. I love the cute towels, but I can't figure out why you put twill tape on the corner? Just curious.

  5. Thanks for the comments! Mary, I put the twill tape at the corner as another way to hang it up.

    Crafty Farmer and Mookie's mom, I used home dec weight fabric I got at Joanns Fabrics. You need to wash it a few times before it's absorbent.

    It's very easy! Let me know if you make some!
