Our new UNpaper towels for the kitchen! So now we have gross towels for pets and the floor. A little less gross towels for scrubbing counters and such. Then these beauties for simple counter spills and our faces . What have you made lately? ITK, we never got to see a picture of A's wool coat

Adorable! Great job @mandmeesh. Does YH actually follow the cleanliness levels of the towels? I caught mh using our dish scrubber in the shower floor. Sigh.

Ha. Actually, NO. Which is why I do most of the clean ups. He does wash the majority of the dishes, and he did ask to use one of the nice ones to wipe down the counter before he did it. I am so Cruella De Vil

Maybe I'll start using his toothbrush to clean the toilet till he understands the concept. Too cruella?

Unless you never kiss him, that's sort of evil to yourself. Lol

Hmm, good call. This is why I keep you around.

I made a bunch last night as we're trying to go paper free. I just cut up a cheap towel into rectangles and then a piece of fleece for the back and serged them together. Easy and cheap! I know my husband would never take the time to snap them all together on the roll, so we just have a basket of them sitting on the kitchen counter.

These a so pretty! Do you think serging the edges on the outside would work as well as turning and topstitching? I'm all about the easy way out today.

Definitely. My reason for not serging or zig zag stitching is not having the patience for cutting my fabric perfectly
