Well, still no sewing room, but I can explain how to do this without sewing so...
Take your old stained, worn, ugly kitchen or hand towels. Strip first with lots of rinses to get off any build-up.
For a smaller prefold or a larger hand towel just fold over until the middle is 3 layers and each side is 1. For a larger prefold, use two hand towels and trifold one, then lay it over the other (both methods pictured above).
Then just sew a rectangle around the folded edges right near the edge. Use a wide stitch and a 12+ gauge needle. If you want it more flush, you can use a zig zag and sew back and forth over the edges along the sides sort of like an applique stitch.
Ta-da! That was easy! :D
Cool idea! I have a bunch of towels I was going to turn into rags, but I will have to try this!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and ideas. Have just started Maternity leave and am looking for some projects. Am really keen on the baby doll carrier, any chance you have a pattern for this yet? I would love to give it a go!
ReplyDeleteI like this idea. I can use my Thirsties with them.
