Custom Kitchen Towels
Custom kitchen towels have been on my to-do list for a while now. I finally got around to making them. It's one of those projects that after you do it, you think, "well why did I wait so long to do that!?!" because there was nothing to it.
So a quick run down on how to make custom kitchen towels - buy a pack of plain towels, cut strips of fabric, and sew them on. That's it - no real tutorial needed. Here's a picture of how I attached the fabric - I ironed under the edges and then pinned them down, then just sewed them along the edges.
I love how they turned out - I made 6 - 2 of each kind.
I know it looks silly to have 3 towels hanging on the oven, but I like them all and couldn't decide which would get the place of honor (if hanging on that old oven is an honor)...

Very cute! I *love* the fabric you used.
How do they hold up in the wash? Did you pre-wash either the fabric or the towels?
