From bath towel to kitchen towel


A little needlework to kill time in a Saturday afternoon.


Cut out 1/3 portion of a bath towel. Machine 16 "L" pleats evenly along the width, each of 6" long.


Cut to desired height of the dress and seal the loose top with a match-color stripe.


Join the back leaving the skirting open.


The basic form is completed.


Machine on a ribbon (It is the leftover of the "Strawberry cake" I made for Mao Mao some years ago) along the seam.


Add a little bow, it's done!


Variation 1: same cutting with a different ribbon


Variation 2: Another cutting style
