Repeat the above steps for all the corners.

Reduce bulk by trimming above the stitch line and snipping the little corner.Ĭarefully use the point of your scissors or a knitting needle to turn out sharp corners.īe careful not to push through the fabric and make a hole.

Fold in the raw edge along the 1cm pressed line.

Fold the fabric in half at a corner and match up the marks.

The measurement for this step is double your seam allowance.Įg 1.5cm seam allowance x 2 = 3cm or 2cm seam allowance x 2 = 4cm

Measure 4cm out from each corner and make a mark.Fold the raw edges in by 1cm and press.You can easily mirror the design on your machine if making a second towel. Remove the fabric from the hoop and carefully remove the stabilizer.Place the hoop at the top right corner (this will be the bottom right corner when the towel hangs vertically) of your rectangle as close to the edge as possible. See Tips for why I used Wash-away stabilizer. Load the fabric in the hoop with tear-away or wash-away stabilizer below.You can of course make the bobbin thread the same colour as your fabric.

I love the versatility of the design and how it means the kitchen towels can be used year round. You can change the thread colours to match the recipient’s colour scheme for a thoughtful touch. These would also make special gifts as they are quick and easy to make.

With the festive season and entertaining coming up, I wanted to extend my interior decorating taste with matching kitchen towels. I painted them white, wallpapered inside and brought in hints of my favourite colour with doorknobs and crockery. I recently repurposed a set of thrifted cupboards to make myself a kitchen unit. When it comes to using colour, I prefer a neutral colour pallet with pops of bold colours (usually some shade of purple!)
