tutorial- hanging towel

hanging hand towel is quite expensive to buy here so i bought a 100yen face towel and sew myself a hanging handtowel for our kitchen.

the tutorial photos are incomplete coz i kept forgetting to take pictures when i sew. haha . really sorry about that. i hope you can understand the simple explanation .its really easy to make , you can use normal fabric instead of patchwork.

what you need

fabric – fat quarter should do . i dont have a specific measurement here, but you can measure according to your desired finished size. let say you want a 10cmx10cm square, so cut 20cmx10cm plus another 1cm at all edge for the hem.

interfacing- fleece/batting /any interfacing will do.  size – same with , but halve the the length of your fabric

binding cum holder – this also depends on how long you want the towel to be hanged, letsay you want it to be 5cm long, so just cut 10+10(sides)+5(hanging part)+2(hem) x 4cm to make a bias tape. (lebih kurang, budget sendiri ye!)

towel. any length /width that you like! hehe

steps

1. fold towel into half, gather the folded side into your desired width and stitch . (same as fabric width),

 

2. sew the right side of the fabric together with interfacing (i use flannel) onto the gathered towel

and fold the fabric into half and sewl the other end to the other side of the towel and make sure you fold 1cm of the edge inside and sew. (boleh paham ke eh , ayat macam keling LOL) but the pic is a lil bit blurry . sorryyy

sew the binding on both sides , leaving the middle of the tape as the holder looking lebih kurang like this

tadaaa , hanging hand towel done! now i can cook happily in the kitchen yeay.

happy trying~~
