Love these! Whenever I'm attaching ricrac, I glue baste them down so I don't have to fiddle with pins. Such a cute idea!

"Quick" tea towels!? Who are kidding? Thanks for the idea :-)

In the old days here in Denmark, we had embroidered teatowels - A sort of redwork, often made in blue on white linen. It was hung, in front of the "real" teatowels/dishtowels to hide them.

that makes perfect sense. I always wondered that if one were made and given would it really be used. now I know what in fact the purpose is. Thank You

Hi and thanks for this tutorial. I will use a more appropriate fabric for tea towel but I will make them like yours because they are pretty.

Very cute, very pretty, very nice! Darling decorative tea towels! Love that ric-rac!

Thank you for this video. Nice tutorial on making tea towels! I will try it!

Love love these 👌🏾. I am definately going to make some. Thank you so much for the wonderful ideas. From South Africa.

Very cute! Love your ideas! Thank you for the tutorial!

I like the project! I don't mind ironing for something his cheery and retro.

Perfect quick and easy mother's day gifts! ♡♡♡

These are so nice, thank you! Happy sewing & Merry Christmas! 🎄✨

That's sew cute! I love the Lori Holt rickrack now I know what to do with my llama fabric! Thanks y'all!

Wonderful video! Beautiful fabric!!! I always thought cotton was good for dish towels, no lint to get on the dishes. Well I plan on making some of these for Christmas gifts, my friends LOVE when I give them handmade things for gifts. Thanks so much for sharing this video with all of us! ;-)

Can you tell me if these were actually good to dry dishes with? I thought it was a special kind of cotton that would be suitable? Would they actually work, do you know? Thank you!

That fabric would be so cute made into a little girls jumper or sun dress.

Although they are cute tea towels, I would say they are more for looks than a viable tea towel, since cotton fabric is not really intended for use as a towel. How about Riley Blake come up with waffle fabric which is meant for towels.

Agreed. Thoughts were much the same, as I watched the video. Fun and decorative, but not very functional from a practical standpoint, in the kitchen.

@@nl8256 A quick check of the Webster's dictionary reveals the following. Quote: "tea towel noun - Definition of tea towel - : a cloth for drying dishes" Feel free to research for yourself the origins of the term. Interesting study. Remembering, too, when all woven fabrics were precious, as they were manually created from natural fibers. Never carelessly discarded. Instead used until they became dish rags and rags for mops.

Your demonstration is great your a fabulous teacher and definitely making this t towel i would use it as decorations

I would have also sewn around the outside for a stronger hold of the 2 sides together, they will come out the wash better

Cute idea! I do like using a more absorbent fabric as some have stated however I also like following a simple rule: If it isn't something that appeals to you scroll on! Constructive criticism is helpful but in general, if you don't have something nice to say, please say nothing at all. People tend to hide behind the safety of the internet and get pretty hateful and unfortunately, I saw that in some of the comments.

Cute and fun decorative towels. Thank you!

Super cute project, excellent video. Wish it had shown the label application ❤️

Thanks for sharing, Cindy!!

These towels are only for looks. When washed they need ironing every time.

Very nice Cindy! Mary

Might remind all to make sure design is going the same way!

Those are adorable!

Love this idea ❤👍

It is absorbent but not enough as a practical tea towel.

Love this project so much.

Cute idea but would not use cotton fabric for this type of project. Also that rick rack made the fabric pucker .

Cute! Love the quilt in the background, with x's. Do you sell the pattern?

I agree very much on the last comment, quilting cotton is not used for towel purposes. Yes, they are really cute but I don’t have room for decorative towels, just useful ones.

Adorable! Thanks for the tutorial :-)

Very pretty.

oooohhhhh.........thats pretty

no prewashing the fabrics?

Very cute!

So very pretty

I’m having issues cutting square or straight . How do you achieve a straight cut. Especially with a large cut.

Is this just a decorative tea towel or can they be used to dry dishes? I’m thinking “not”. I doubt an ordinary quilting fabric is not a good cotton weight to dry dishes or use in the kitchen. Anyone know?

Where did you obtain the metal “bumper” set to 1/4” on the base of the sewing platform??

Adorable

Where can you purchase the vintage Rick rack?

Beautiful project, can you please tell me where to find the tags or do you have a video about how to use them

that is an amazing iron . And I have priced these irons on Amazon.. But they run in price from $99.00 to $159.00.. Way too much money for me... Now, if I quilted for a living , I might invest in an iron as expensive as this, but seeing as I only quilt for a hobby, NO WAY.. lol I will stick to my MUCH CHEAPER iron... But hey, to each his own.. God bless..

What is the main fabric,is it absorbent?Thank you so much.

Marilyn Listander I don’t know about that specific design but if you search amazon, or your preferred shopping site for continuous spray bottle or fine misting bottle you can find it. You want a bottle that has an internal bag that helps keep an even pressure inside the bottle.

Are they absorbent....and when washed....wrinkly and need ironing? Thank you!

Great question! These are made out of medium weight quilting cotton, so they will wrinkle. While they are functional, if you don't want to be ironing towels, we recommend you use these tea towels for decorative purposes only.

No, quilting cotton is not absorbent as you would expect a kitchen (tea) towel to be. Decorative only.

Looks like a pillow case not a towel.

Hi Jolie, Doing a quick internet search for Riley Blake Llama Fabric will bring up several quilt shops that have it in stock.

Jordon fabrics

I have wasted money following videos which show how to make products which are not suitable for use - why oh why can’t you make it clear this is no use for drying dishes as cotton gets wet and won’t slide over the dishes to dry them. Have you tried using it - obviously not. Just be honest.

When cotton has been used and washed a few times it does become absorbent enough for a tea towel. Traditional tea towels are made of woven cotton or even linen.

What the heck is a clapper? I have never hear of that.

Doesnt look like a tea towel

These are tea towels and dish towels have different purposes. Tea towels are used at the table with food presentation such as in a bread basket. Dish towels are made with absorbant fabric for drying dishes.
