I love the simplicity of a flour sack towel, but sometimes life calls for a little embellishment. I know that flour sack towels, and kitchen towels in general, are workhorses and are predestined to…

two folded towels sitting on top of a bed

These cute tucked dishtowels are a fun project to add to a hope chest. They are very easy to sew, and they are quick; only about an hour from start to finish. Because there is no embroidery, I can take advantage of dishtowels that may be less expensive. 1. Iron the dishtowel as square as possible. Honestly, this will probably be your greatest challenge! So many flour sack dishtowels are completely skewed and off-grain. Truly, it just makes me grind my teeth. Do your best to make the end with…

a tea towel hanging on the side of an oven with words that spell out tea

I’ve seen individual tea towels for $12.95 in some shops. Sorry folks, but I just can’t spend that much on a kitchen towel. The good news is, you…

I haven't picked up a stencil brush in about 25 years . . . since about the time that country geese, ceilings covered with dusty baskets, and stenciled walls became overused died. Recently though, I've been exploring different media for stenciling. Flour Sack Towels make are a perfect material for stenciling and fit well with today's farmhouse decor. They're simple, organic, and inexpensive. My little "craft group" is planning to get together and make some of these soon, but I wanted to try…

two white towels sitting next to each other on top of a wooden table with labels

I love the look of stamped flour sack towels and thought it would be fun to try making my own. I found this package of 5 at Walmart for $4.34 – a great price in case I messed them up.&nb…

Well, hello! Today I will share a simple (and fun) little tutorial on how to make a patchwork dish towel. The strip of patchwork is a perfect opportunity to customize for any holiday....or make one out of your favorite color scheme, as I did here. This is a great way to use up those mini charm packs that you may collect, but aren't quite certain what to do with. Scraps from the scrap bins are a great option, too. Always! What you will need: one flour sack dish towel (mine is about 30"…

four tea towels hanging on the wall

It's easy to fall out of love with your home when you have grown so accustomed to it that you cannot see beyond what is already there. Kind of like not seeing the forest for the trees. Does that make sense? It becomes so commonplace that you miss seeing the little things - for me, that includes dust. In this year of gentle domesticity I intend to 'open my eyes' and honestly explore each room of this house; in fact any house we may eventually call home. I don't think I'm much of a details…

Kitchen towels ... can you ever have too many of them? Most of mine are pretty grungy from everyday use, so I don't display them. But every so often I treat myself to a pretty new one. I decided me and my kitchen were worth it. Since I've been adding touches of black and gray into my farmhouse kitchen, when I spotted a black and white buffalo check towel, I had to get it. It wasn't cheap for one single
