Tea Towels Re purposed...

 

Hello everyone.. 

Hope all is well with thee..

Here are a few ideas for using tea towels or dish towels.. I am not sure what you call them in your part of the world.. 

Anyway... 

I have been wanting one of these pillows for ages.. 

I notice them a lot in the UK magazines and love them.. 

I was into Home Sense and noticed these tea towels.. 

And voila.. 

Just sewed two together and stuffed them with filler..

I almost bought one of these dish drying mats but when I looked at them I noticed they looked a lot like a couple of tea towels.. 

So.. 

I put two together with a padding cloth of flannel in between.. 

I don't use a dish washer so this would be good for when I am doing a lot of glasses and such, too.. 

Another bag for bread made out of linen tea towels.. 

Remember we made them HERE..

Whenever I go to a Thrift store I look for pure linen towels or calendars.. 

They make great bread bags and you can make someone a gift of the no knead bread found HERE.. and use a bag to give it in.. 

Kind of a gift pantry item.. 

Then you can make place mats when you find a few tea towels you love..

Just sew a backing on... 

And a little crochet bag for my yarn and such..

This is a very old kitchen towel..

Another pillow made from a souvenir towel from Dorset.. 

Again it is just a matter of sewing the sides and leaving a space to stuff it.. Sew it closed.. 

A Baguette Bag with a loop for hanging.. 

Folding a towel in half length wise this time and putting in a drawstring.. 

This is a salad drying bag.. 

Sew the edges together  ... 

Wash salad greens and place them in the bag.. 

Roll up and keep in fridge until ready to dress.. 

These are very simple sewing projects.. 

Hope you get a wee bit of inspiration here.. 

Have you any ideas for using tea towels? 

Would love to hear about them.. 

Take care, dear hearts and have a blessed day tomorrow.. 

LOVE AND PRAYERS..

A Windy Day ...

Good Evening Everyone.. 

A very windy and cool day here in New Brunswick. 

I turned the fireplace on and spent a bit of time in the sun room.

Hence the photos.. smile.. 

This is where I sew and such.. 

There will not be any gardening here for a few more weeks so I am enjoying my plants.. 

I found a couple of lovely linen towels at the thrift store and made a couple of bread bags.. The orange striped one is in the pic above.. 

The lovely tea set is a gift from my Mom for my last birthday.. 

I have an old china cabinet in there that belonged to Terry's grandfather.. 

I like keeping his mother's dishes and any special keepsakes.. 

Like the old doll that used to belong to my friend Julia.. 

You can read about her HERE..

Still preparing for Keepers on Saturday.. 

Looking forward to it.. 

Made some stir fry for supper tonight.. 

One of hubby's faves..

Praying that it can be found soon .. 

God bless, my dears..
