Were these hard? Hardly! Could you do them? Of course you can! The cost of these awesome towels? I went to Target and bought 4 bar mop towels for $3.84 and then I got my fabric from JoAnns - I got 1/4 yard of the yellow lemons and the green polka dot and I think it cost me a total of $4...the yellow gingham I already had. So, needless to say, these were NOT expensive!
Go here to see the tutorial and then make 'em! And then send me a picture so I can see how cool they look!
(Christmas in July: these will make GREAT Christmas gifts, which I think is exactly what I'm gonna do!)

ReplyDeleteI LOVE these! These would make a wonderful Christmas gift. I need to add them to my pile of ideas!
ReplyDeleteLove these Kari! I've had that lemon fabric from JoAnn's for awhile now and have been meaning to sew up something for my kitchen with it - these would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteThese are just lovely and a clever way to dress up plain and inexpensive towels, gotta love it! Your fabric choices make me smile.

Kari I LOVE your towels! They are so cute - love the lemons (I used to have a lemon kitchen ...I miss it now!). And you're right - these would make GREAT gifts! Wonderful job!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to the Mad Skills party!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love it. My kitchen towels could use a little sprucing up. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteyes in lemon please!
ReplyDeleteI think that is so funny per your husband's request to make something other then pillows. Too many pillows in the house? My hubby thinks we have way to many too. Love the towels. Super cute! Your friends will love them for gifts.
ReplyDeleteSO cute!! Love the lemon! I'm a blog follower now! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Take-A-Look Tuesday - I featured you today! - Mandy, www.craftedition.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI think you just solved my dilemma! I have been wanting some type of design toward the bottom of some towels, but I wanted something textured, which doesn't really lend itself to a design. I found some plain white towels (the waffle-ones) at Target and they are on sale through almost the end of August. I am going to look at doing this! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteHi there! I saw you over at CheapChicHome and came right over.
ReplyDeleteAwesome towels. Great idea and I'm loving the colors. Well done you! -Eve
