Yesterday I decided to try another tea towel. I used a design by Buttermilk basin so I could make a fall towel for next month. I reduced the design by 20% to fit the towel and sewed it one with a blanket stitch. One thing I am noticing is the towels are bright white, so I might try tea staining one to see how I like it, then I can do some with primitive stitcheries with christmas designs as gifts.
The towels are Aunt Martha's and with a coupon, well worth getting and easy to work on. I might just stain this one with tea, might give it a more prim look. The wool is prim, but I have to lighten it, so you can see the details.
My towels become 'prim' with use :-)
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the same as Libby's comment. When mine get tea stains I throw them out. Your design looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteyou are so dang clever!
ReplyDeleteSO adorable :)
ReplyDeleteLove the towel. How well do they hold up? Can you actually use them or are they more for decoration?
ReplyDeleteThe wool has already been felted so I guess it wouldn't shrink in the wash but would the tea staining come out in the wash?
Thanks
Great idea! It looks fabulous!
