Default Do you make Kitchen towels?

I have just made 12 Kitchen towels for my SIL as an order. I make them from a good quality handtowel (cut to length) and add a fabric top that buttons over the stove handle or over a kitchen cupboard handle.

I love your towels! I used to do them with crochet instead of the fabric tops. Now I just do embroidery on the flour sack dishtowels.

Pretty towels! I don't make them, but my mother-in-law does. She uses a big snap instead of doing a button.

Those are very pretty towels Betty. My daughter in law made me one a few years ago, and it buttoned over the stove handle.

Button or snap: doesn't matter to me. I like to put one on my belt. It never gets lost when I'm cooking.

What a practical gift!

These come in "handy" in my kitchen....my dds like them too. I have done buttonhole/button, Velcro, but I like that idea of large snap....
