It’s October again, and time to start making Christmas presents!
This year, I’m trying something a little bit different than I did last year.
I want to make only practical things–gift items that people need but don’t think to buy for themselves.
I’m starting with the humble kitchen tea towel, and I’m going to digitize my favorite Bible verses and quotes from favorite writers to create seven days of tea towels. The free download I’m including is digitized for the Janome hoop that is at least 7.9″ x 11″ (this works for the new Janome 500E, the 12000 and the 15000). The file is Jef, but there is free conversion software out there on the net if you have a different machine.
Let’s get started!
To make this towel:
Supplies:
an old kitchen towel to measure by
unbleached, untreated muslin fabric, 100% cotton
Embroidery machine
Sewing machine
Thread
Tear-away stabilizer

Step 1:
Measure your old towel, and use it to cut your muslin fabric:
