OMG!!!!!! Thank youuuuuuuu!!!!!!! =^_____^=
I can’t believe!!!!!!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!
I seen your tea towels on Facenbook and loved them.
I really like the hanging towel, really nice. I plan to do more sewing in this new year 2014.
Great idea – but the website is not English..help?
I love hand towels like this but I don’t like to out them on my oven door because they drag on the floor. Do you have any suggestions for the type that hangs on cupboard knobs? I use the ones that tie but they’re hard to come by.
At the end of the tutorial, it states “sew all the way around” Can someone explain? Wouldn’t you just sew straight across once you put the towel up into the piece? Any help appreciated.
If you look closely at the photo for the last step, she’s got the needle turned at the corner. I’m thinking she will sew up the sides and possibly across that first line of stitching, and then back down the other side. –Anne
