Tarting up tea towels


Originally two quite plain tea towels, now almost too pretty to use! I made these for Fiona.



the first one Cath Kidston-style



using scraps of plain fabric and hand appliqued.





The second one with a scrap of Peter Rabbit fabric (I made Sophie a pillow case as a house-warming present from this gorgeous piece).



I can't claim the spots as my idea!


And my buttons came from Love Paper Fish.


And here are the teatowels I received from Jytte. They fit perfectly with the rustic corner of my kitchen! Thank you Jytte!
