Embellished Kitchen Towels $cost of towel

My sister Suzette sewed me a set of kitchen towels for my birthday to be used for holidays throughout the year. She embellished each towel using scraps from her sweet stash of vintage and imported fabrics (Fabrics Anonymous, she's a member, it's an issue). She also has quite the button collection. We often lament the fact we don't live in the same state because we would have a ball making things together.

She bought the white kitchen towels at Kohl's. They are the Food Network brand. They are super squishy and nice to dry hands and dishes on.

Stitching rectangles of scraps and ruffled ribbon on towels! Genius! Why did I never think of this?! It's the perfect gift because everyone needs kitchen towels.

Embellishment Notes:

Christmas towel: made from the bottom of a vintage apron (my favorite, look at that typography)

Halloween towel: made from Japanese import Wizard of Oz linen (I die! I die of cuteness!)

4th of July towel: made from vintage feedsack, new and old buttons

Valentine towel: made from vintage feedsack
