Tutorial: Easy scrappy dish towel

Are you tired of hoarding your fabric scraps and never finding a use for them? Well, it’s time to dust off your scrap bin and get ready to create something beautiful and useful!

Katie from Bite Sized Biggie has shared a fantastic idea for putting your fabric scraps to good use. She uses them to add quick and pretty embellishments to plain dish towels. It’s such a simple and fun project that you can complete in just a few hours, and the end result is a set of gorgeous, one-of-a-kind towels that are perfect for sprucing up your kitchen or gifting to a friend.

To get started, all you need are some plain dish towels, fabric scraps in various colors and patterns, a sewing machine, and some thread. Then, simply cut out your fabric scraps into different shapes, such as hearts, stars, or flowers, and arrange them on the dish towel in a pattern that you like. Once you’re happy with the placement, sew the scraps onto the towel using a zigzag stitch. Voila! You now have a beautifully embellished dish towel that is sure to brighten up your kitchen.

These towels are not only a great way to use up your fabric scraps, but they also make fantastic housewarming presents. Imagine how happy your friends or family members would be to receive a set of unique and colorful dish towels that you made yourself! Plus, because the towels are handmade, they show that you put thought and care into the gift.

Don’t let your fabric scraps go to waste! Follow Katie’s lead and use them to create something beautiful and useful. Not only will you have a fun and satisfying crafting experience, but you’ll also end up with a practical and pretty addition to your kitchen or a thoughtful and unique gift for a loved one.

They’d make great housewarming presents!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
