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!!!

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

  6. 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.

  11. 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!!
