That is a great idea. My DIL and her Mom made something similar, which I copied for the next year's Fair at my church, and they were a hit. When I was making things for the craft table at the Fair, most of my items were sold before the Fair started, but it all went for a good cause.

Love the idea. I have to try it.

There doesn't appear to be a raw edge in this method, it looks like it is folded over into a double towel hanging down from the middle. After making tons of more difficult designs, I am hooked and the next lot will be done this way. They will not be as cost effective as yours as the average cost to make the item here would be $5-$8. Thanks for the post.

Neat item; thanks for the link. Every now and then I see a really pretty tea towel; now I know what to do with one when I find it!

I have made these for years. Everyone loves them!

Thanks for the link. Cute towels and easy too.

You are right. Went and looked at the tute again. What I thought was a raw edge was the gathering stitches. All my hanging towels are only one layer, but there are many times I wish there was more there. I'll have to start making a few of these for myself.

Great idea! Thanks!!

Thanks for sharing..

I have made many of these over the years, but it seems like I have a more difficult time finding a nice matching potholder and kitchen towel; most have an oblong potholder (I use it anyway) and a matching mitt that I have no use for but usually include it with the gift and usually use a matching towel to make a plastic grocery bag holder. My daughters and daughters-in-law expect the potholder/towel every Christmas, along with the knitted dishcloths and a machine embroidered dishtowel---do I have them spoiled????. I like them because they stay 'put' in lieu of being found laying 'somewhere in the kitchen'. Thanks for sharing the tute for others.
