Pretty new look for bath and hand towels

I sorted through my linen press today and came upon a pair of towels

that had frayed badly along the side edges.

Now I hate to waste anything and had left them in the cupboard

because the main part of the towels was still quite thick

I cut 4 strips of fabric the length of the sides plus a few centimetres

for turning in at the ends

Sew onto towel sides,right sides together

Turn to the other side and with a little turn under to hide raw edge 

sew right through all layers.

I am so pleased to get some more life out of these.

I love to make do and mend. It gives me a lot of satisfaction, 

and saves me heaps of money

I had some fabric left over,so made a nice border along 

both ends of 2 hand towels

I am quite pleased with my efforts

Don't you just love days when you achieve so much.

Join me for my favourite linky parties this week

Happy days doing what you enjoy most
