I’m over at Momtastic today sharing a fun and funky totebag tutorial.. It’s super easy and a great beginner sewing project. The totebags are made from kitchen dish towels!
There are so many colorful dish towels available – I bought a set at IKEA for under $5.00. West Elm, Crate & Barrel and World Market also have colorful and sometimes quirky kitchen towels – perfect for a tote. And hey, you can make two totebags for the price of one!
Just a few materials needed – Dish towels, webbing, your sewing machine and sewing supplies..
Ready, Set, Sew.. It’s as easy as that, I promise. Plus no need to add a lining to the tote bag. The dish towel seams are already finished. Hello fun!
Let me know how it goes and I’d love to see pictures of your totes! Happy sewing and have a great day.
that’s so simple and creative – now you got me thinking what i can make with dish towels! thank you marni for sharing! =)
Thanks for coming over. I agree, so many ways to re-create a dish towel!! I’m already thinking of more things to make 🙂
We should host a dish towel challenge! I actually bought a few a while back with wonderful watermelons printed on them and had plans to conjure something up, then entirely forgot about it until I saw this post. 🙂
I don’t think I got back to you on this.. LOVE the idea.. Let’s try and do it. I will email you 🙂
So cute! I might make some for teacher appreciation gifts and fill them up with treats! Thanks for visiting Night Owl Corner….just stopping by to check out your blog too!
