TOWEL SET TRIMMING
Supplies
- Fabric
- Water-soluble pen
- Scissors
- Needle and coordinating thread
- Set of two each: large bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths
Step 1: Measure the width and length of the area where you wish to trim your towel set pieces; add 1” to each measurement. Cut out the pieces you need from the fabric.
Step 2: Turn the edges on the long sides in ¼” towards the wrong side of the fabric. Press.
Step 3: Carefully center your prepared trim piece over the section of the towel item you want to embellish, leaving a ¾” extra piece hanging off each end of the width of the item. Pin in place.
Step 4: Sew close to the edge on each long side.
Step 5: Turn under the end piece of your trim twice to meet the hemmed edge of your towel item on both ends. Slip stitch edge.
Step 6: Repeat the same steps for the other pieces in your towel set.
Tomorrow’s post will have another easy bathroom project.

This looks really great June! Curious to see what you come up with in your next post!
Very pretty! I made some dishtowels in a similar what but I made the towels from scratch with linen fabric and did patches of fabric instead of one continuous strip.
Wow I didn't know you were using the same yard for all the projects. I thought you were using a yard per project. This is even more fun! What a great idea.
This looks really pretty! The fabric is a perfect compliment for the blue towels. It's amazing that you are able to do all these projects with one yard of fabric!

You do the best little tutorials. This looks too cute for words, what a nice gift it would make.
Have a great week! Hugs,

Oh man those are so pretty. I need to make myself some new towels. Thank you for the inspiration!
That's such a nice and simple way to dress up towels...enjoyed all of your tuts.
Your towels are very pretty. My MIL does these with the borders that come with pillow panels. One thing you didn't mention is to prewash the fabric. If the band shrinks up after the towel is washed a few times, the towel looks awful.
