Sewing pattern: Love tea towel from home dec cotton

Home decor weight cotton makes beautiful tea towels!! I used some vintage home dec weight fabric to create this Love applique tea towel with a design loosely inspired by a towel I saw at Anthropologie. I went with a color palette that can be used year round, but you could use pinks and reds to make this a fun Valentine’s Day accent. The Love design makes a great wedding or housewarming gift!
