a tea towel; I love the added ruffle that I learned from Kay & Bev. It is such a great way to dress up a towel. I received a tea towel from my ss last year & she did the top hanger part like this & it works so well I decided I had to give it a try to so here it is & I hope that she likes that she inspired me to make one too

Excellent! Your SS has asked me to tell you that "I am pleased that she liked her towel well enough to make another one like it. I like the added ruffle too. May have to try that."

I think you could untie the bow and use it as an apron too since the ties seem to be long enough. Very cute idea!

thanks very much ,now**** how wide and how long is your ribbon and how far down on the towel did you sew it??

pldc by pldc 27 Jul 2015

5 inches wide & 45 inches long (but you could make it a wee bit longer for a nicer bow) & I stitched it on the towel 6 inches from the top down. These are without 1/4"seam allowances

noah by noah 28 Jul 2015
