repurposed gift.


I received a little gift for Christmas.
A kitchen towel.
Cute, huh?
Here's the recipe that came attached.

I knew that if I used this towel
in my kitchen...
as intended...
it would not be long for this world. ;)

Soooo....
I trimmed it a bit.
Added a strip of fabric on the top....
And a strip of fabric on the bottom.
Two ties on the sides...
VIOLA!!!

I wear aprons quite often in my line of work:
(Chief cook and bottle washer).
This has become the perfect towel for me!!!

    Well, is that CUTE, or what? I do know what you mean about towels, and this will last a whole lot longer!

    Now I like that, and I would certainly use an apron a little more lovingly than the towel. Very clever lady you are.

    So true, my kitchen towels look like they have been driven over by a truck! Great idea.

    Good job, and very pretty how it turned out. I have some vintage tea towels too nice to be used, I think that I will follow your example, thank you for the idea.

    What a cute way to use your new towel and keep it fresh a little longer! It does seem like the cute ones are the first to get stained.... did you make the pie yet?

    I too wear aprons in my "domestic" area. I got into the habit, and I prefer them. Must start creating a few of my own ~ since I like to wear funky aprons!!
