T-Towels still packed up

Today I decided to re-purpose some tea towels I had in the bottom of a box. I made these some years ago and have toted them around many fairs and sales without success. Even when priced at 2 euros for a pack of 2 (!!!) no-one was interested.

I came across them during the clean-up and decided I should do something other than just keep them in their present form.


As I am currently obsessed with hearts, I thought I would make hearts out of a few, and then maybe use the others for bags or linings or shoe bags for me, or maybe some pretty childrens' aprons. (I also thought I might sew some together and make a little curtain to go in front of my kitchen sink - but more of that another time).

So I pressed them all...

... and ironed some soft Vilene onto a few of them (but of course, I ran out of Vilene) and then started to cut out the heart shapes...

... until I had quite a pile...

I've actually cut out 4 different material patterns, but the light is soo poor I can't show you any more pictures until tomorrow...

Maybe I will be able to make up a few this evening too. I'm going to keep them simple this time and not completely fill them with lavender either, so I can sell them at a reasonable price.
