Guest Towels With an Edge

The last of the Christmas gifts can finely be revealed!  

Bound-Edged Guest Towels

I made these guests towels for a little surprise for my brother over at Take My Life and Eat It.  They were super easy to whip up and use just a tiny bit of fabric - which I had in my stash.  The body of the towel is the extra hem from bottom some curtains from IKEA.  I saved it because I just knew I would find a good use for it.  (I have issues with throwing out potentially useful fabric...I might have more fabric than I will ever use in a lifetime!)

I found the tutorial over at Sew Chic.  She has really good directions and pictures to match so I won't go into details here.  The Sew Chic towels are tea towels, but I made mine up as guest towels.  A few minutes in the embroidery machine I had a fun, personal gift. 

The Christmas tree is officially down.  

The last Christmas gift is blogged about...

Are we counting down to Spring yet?
