Tutorial: Sew up some pretty dish towels

Chris from Made By ChrissieD shows how you can make your own dish towels. The sewing is all simple straight seams, good for a first sewing project or a quick afternoon project. She uses some premium toweling fabric from the fabric store, which make sturdy and absorbent towels. If you can’t find the toweling, you could use a 100% cotton 100% linen to make lighter weight towels.
