Can anyone give me some suggestions for using strips of towel (velour one side & towel on the other ) which are 4in ,5in & 8in wide.They are striped with triangle shapes forming stripes.It seems a such a waste to throw them out.
All ideas will be appreciated.

I use towels to make potholders... why because I use it for catching drips of oil from the bottle or for emergency wipes and they wash easily!! A picture of some of mine, you can be as fancy or plane as you want and they can make a nice gift!! Good Luck

neat idea, Mother did this when I was a kid, wash cloths can in boxes of the washing powders (laundery) the extras she folded them in fourths and sewed and x across creating a easy potholders.
Sew together and give to a vet to line the bottom of cages to provide padding and warmth to animals after surgery.
I never thought of pot holders. But I had a couple of 12in squares that I thought of binding the edges so they could be used as washers.At the start, I thought of using the roll hemmer stitch on the overlocker ,but I think the towel fabric is too thick for it to be successful

Are the pieces left over from another project. Currently my only idea is a patch work bath towel, which probably isn’t a great idea

I had the same thought.If it was another type of fabric it would work .The seams would be very thick.

Small stuffed animals for baby?

The pattern on the towelling doesn't really make a good looking toy.

How about sewing together and making a glove for kids to use in the bath. Could maybe even embroidery a face on them.

Soft and effective. :)
I thought about doing something like this because of the velour side.Do you know of any free patterns.No small kid hand here to use to trace around .

I often have left over terry cloth from making the backs for bibs. I cut the leftover piece into strips and then zigzag the edges together to make a wide enough piece to use on my floor swiffer. I just wet the towel material with my floor cleaner. These are reusable and I save both money and the environment! I sometimes have to mix the colors of the toweling but no one sees them so I don't care.
