13 Things to Sew from Tea Towels
Tea towels are a great way to add color and personality to your kitchen. And they’re a handy place to dry your hands. But tea towels don’t always have to be used as tea towels. It turns out that a hemmed rectangle of pretty fabric also makes a great starting point for a sewing project. With the edges already finished, much of the work has already been done for you. All it takes is a handful of easy seams to turn a tea towel into a pillow, bag, apron, or more. Intrigued? We’ve rounded up some great tutorials for easy sewing projects you can make starting with a simple tea towel.
Look at all the things you can sew from a tea towel!

Oh, would I LOVE to have this book in my library. I have been collecting wool and felt for some time now and just need some original ideas.
Thanks for the opportunity,

Oops! I forgot to tell you that Christmas is my favorite time for crafting! I always go a little crazy decorating and sewing (mostly quilts) for my loved ones.
Thanks again for allowing me to put my name in the hat!

I love to craft for Christmas the most and do 4 or 5 local craft shows every year. I have been doing this for 30 years as a hobby and it’s what keeps me going outside work. I specialize in angels of all kinds. When I retire I plan to do alot more with my crafts and really get “out there”. This book looks like one I would LOVE to have. I have FA LA LA Felt.

Christmas is the the busiest craft time of the year for most of us I’ll bet.

This looks like a cute book. I have several books by these authors and all are great. Will be a great addition to the rest of my felt craft books!
