Fabulous free Fridays

Last week was a bust.

Nobody cooks anymore I guess so no freebie will go out. 

I figure I will try a fun tutorial instead.

An easy button on towel project.

Grab a flat potholder, a towel and a button that fits in the  potholder loop

I was lucky enough to find a set of 2 potholders and got 2 towels for 2 sets

Some people cut the towel in half

I dont. 

Fold the towel in half lengthwise just like you would put it on your stove. 

Mark with pins or clips for the center 

Then widthwise gather it to the size of your potholder. Mark it with clips or pins

Find the center of your potholder folding the button loop side from top to bottom.

This is how it will attach to your stove

Sew on the center line thru the potholder and towel attaching them together 

They will be right sides together if that makes sense

Fold the potholder like you would to put it on the stove and attach button.

A cute and easy and useful project

And yes if you find plain towels they can add to your runner to make a kitchen set

Dont overlook funky colors

Teal or sage can go with holiday prints on your runner.

Take advantage of sales and what stores consider off season

(THEY are busy with browns and oranges right now so you may be able to score some teal or blue or gray for a great price)

Micro bowls or sets

Runners

Napkins

Placemats 

Towel for fridge or stove

Nice gift ideas if you think themes

You're welcome
