QuiltingPandaBear, I have a quilting friend who does a similar thing. She has an extensive stash and pulled out some good flannel and made 10 or 12 inch square (finished) to use in place of paper towels. Then because her family of children and grandchildren is large and used lots of paper napkins, she grabbed more fabric odds and ends and hemmed it all around pressed and made napkins. She can get a huge number of washings out of the napkins before they start to look shabby and worn. Then they become dust and cleaning cloths. Each homemade fabric replacement for paper towels/napkins has its own special basket for storage. She is cleaning better with less waste of trees and products and she reduced her stash to boot
Keep up the good sustainable work for our dear planet.
