So I purchased it, brought it home and threw it in the washer. Today I cut out four hand towels and added machine embroidery. This design is another Anita Goodesign called Christmas Curls. The linen is a little tricky to sew but I'm very pleased with my first towel. I think this one is staying with me for the holidays. Maybe the other three will become gifts. My goal is to experiment with my new machine on a variety of fabrics before I go to my second class on Friday. This week I've tried the bar towels and now linen. Not sure what's next.

Upcycled Linen Hand Towel

I love how you recycled that tablecloth. The towel came out so pretty. I've never done that-uh oh. Going to my old linen stash right now! Aren't thrift stores the most fun?
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that you took one tablecloth and turned it into 4 pretty towels that you can keep or give away. :) Wishing you a wonderful day. Tammy
