I made some with old towels and cotton Tshirts.

[@UncleJody]

I have made quite a few sets of these and it is now a GO-TO gift for people having a new baby...and family. Trying to make my family members environmentally friendly, one stitch at a time. I used the size 9.5" x 10" as it fit better on the stand-up roll for the counter. Also the tip of trimming the tip of the corners is brilliant! My 11 year old daughter is TOTALLY capable of this and she is learning MUCH more by making them than just sewing skills.

[@Whitney_Sews]

You're so right, there are great to have around with babies and kids. Plus easy enough for anyone to make :)

[@dirtband4ever916]

I made a pile of these a couple weeks ago using old towels for the one side and flannel on the other. They are really heavy duty. I love the idea of using the microfiber! My husband just bought a big bag of microfiber towels for cleaning so I am going to make some with them. And they happen to be my favorite color-yellow!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Awesome! I still need to round up some towels to use for some of mine!

[@allisons324]

Going to start sewing my stash today! This is a perfect project for all the baby receiving blankets I saved! Thank you!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Great idea to repurpose receiving blankets!

[@jannienmitchell1478]

Hi Whitney,I am new to sewing andI am finding you such a good teacher. Very easy to follow tutorials. Lots of wonderful projects. You are my inspiration.

[@Whitney_Sews]

So glad you like my videos! I've got another tutorial coming soon that is perfect for beginners :)

[@chrishorton1793]

Was looking for a project for my 10 yr old granddaughter who I am teaching to sew. Thanks.

[@Whitney_Sews]

This would be a great first project for her!

[@delphine.sophie83]

Perfect for using up some fabric. I was planning to find an alternative to pre-wet industrial wipes so I have no excuses now that you provided the perfect tutorial ! Thanks for sharing

[@Whitney_Sews]

You'll have to let me know how yours turn out :)

[@mariagoumas6135]

Oh I love this great idea thank for sharing ✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️

[@Whitney_Sews]

Glad you liked it!

[@lindabrown7374]

Nice idea! Love the pink kitty fabric.

[@Whitney_Sews]

LINDA BROWN Thank you! The kitty fabric and Sesame Street print were in a bag of flannel pieces a viewer sent. I had used all the rest, but saved those two for Peyton because I knew she would like them :)

[@RoadtotheFarm]

Love it! This is such a great option for everyone wanting finished edges rather than my frayed edges method!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Glad you liked it! BTW I love watching your channel so it was very exciting to see your comment on my video!

[@RoadtotheFarm]

Thank you so much! I rarely watch KZbin but I love sewing and just have to pop over to your channel occasionally. I shared your video on my fb :)

[@Whitney_Sews]

Aww thank you for sharing the video!

[@RoadtotheFarm]

My pleasure!

[@cariann3]

I make them with left over layer cake squares and Terry cloth. we use them for everything...cleaning and as placemats.

[@Whitney_Sews]

Great idea to use those left over layer cake pieces!

[@tracycook5445]

I am putting two poppers on one edge of each cloth I then pop them all together and wrap them round the kitchen roll holder it makes it easier to have on the counter for ease of use.

[@antonia5682]

Such a simple and fabulous idea to help the environment, and looks so cheerful too! Thank you for this and for your re-usable grocery bag tutorial, which I've also just watched! These would make great gifts!

[@ranelamakes8643]

Nice work! I really like your channel. I'm new and I am inspired by your editing skills :) thank you.

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thank you! Glad you like my channel :)

[@CrysLinn]

I'll be doing this tonight! I enjoy your tutorials!

[@merszx6297]

Beautiful

[@judylitton4198]

Love this

[@WhateverHunterLiz]

Your tutorials are great and I have learned so much from you! This is a great idea for using up fabrics. There is one thing I would like to ask you? Does it not bug you that your fabrics are wrinkly. LOL. I'm so sorry if that sounds weird but I guess I like to press everything all the time or it makes me crazy to have all those wrinkles. Maybe it's just me lol. Again I do love your tutorials! Thank you so much for all your hard work you do to teach us all these great projects!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Liz Turney Hehe it doesn't bother me. I know it would look better on camera to press first, but I film while the kids nap so time is often not on my side. If I spend time ironing first I usually run out of filming time. So unless I'm working on something where it really matters I just wait. I do however press each seam if I'm quilting, but that is super quick to do.

[@deedum75]

I like to press everything too and yet my guess is it's a personal preference perhaps :) I do enjoy the videos and learn a lot here.

[@WhateverHunterLiz]

Whitney Sews Thanks Whitney for the quick reply! I totally understand the time element with kids!

[@lindabridges445]

Thanks for this super easy idea. You're such a pleasure to learn from and refresh my skills. I have so many "projects' waiting. These tutorials remind me to go look at my To Do List and definitely add this to it. 😊

[@SewCargoLIVE]

this is awesome thanks :)

[@Whitney_Sews]

Glad you liked it :)

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

I thought I subbed to you before but... Thank you for this great idea. I have that "jungle" material too! I need to make some of these for my friend who's 1st child is almost 1. Thank you for the cool sewing videos. I love to sew but not so good at it. :)

[@Whitney_Sews]

Glad you liked the video :) I've been really enjoying your channel!

[@amalmuhamed5299]

very nice

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thank yoU!

[@edithayer4462]

Can I use cotton prints?

[@sarahhardy8649]

One wonders if it would be an idea to sew diagonally from corner to corner, making an x, stopping it from ballooning when one swooshes it around it water? Fab idea though. I’m looking for more eco friendly ideas.

[@Whitney_Sews]

I dont have any problems with it, but feel free to sew an x to see if you like it

[@allieb7757]

Beginner here. What do you mean roll the edges so seams lay flat?

[@rmcrms5]

Do you use flannel on both sides or could you use cotton (quilting scraps) on one side?

[@Whitney_Sews]

I used flannel on both so Peyton can use whichever side she likes for wiping her hands, but you can definitely use quilting cotton on one side if you like.

[@rmcrms5]

Thank you!

[@TheRustySpigot]

Flannel, can it be thrift store flannel shirts?

[@Whitney_Sews]

Yes!

[@sistagallegos7884]

I'm a new beginner just got a new sewing machine for Christmas and looking into videos to do a reusable paper towels and reusable pads just dont know much about fabrics or what material to buy...

[@Whitney_Sews]

In this video I used flannel. You can decide what size you want them to be then go to the store and pick a couple of flannel you like and buy a few extra inches. So if you want 10 inch squares buy about 15 inches of fabric of two prints. It will be about 15 inches by 42 inches cut. Take it home and hand wash and hang to dry to get the shrinkage out. Then cut the squares and sew. You will get 3 or 4 towels from those two fabrics which is enough to get some practice, see if you like them, and see if that's a size you like. Hope that helps

[@tillie0167]

If you are a thrift store shopper and think outside the box you can find fabric for less then you would pay in a fabric store. Receiving blankets, pajama pants and men's shirts are all good sources for flannel fabric, and sheets are excellent sources for cotton fabric. A king size sheet gives you a lot of fabric for the cost.

[@Whitney_Sews]

Yep! I used to do that all the time!

[@sistagallegos7884]

@@Whitney_Sews ok thank you... I will have to try this again cuz. I made some but didnt wash first . i made some and was gonna wasj them when done making them .will have to try ahain love ur video.. Thank you

[@shanaazmohammed7713]

Do you have a video for the pretty decoration behind you??

[@Whitney_Sews]

Should be linked in the description box

[@jbloom1981]

They made jungle babies in flannel??? I made my 11 year olds crib bedding from this print, I know I bought it before I had him though.

[@lizburgess4398]

Do you precast fabric first to shrink it?

[@Whitney_Sews]

I prewash fabrics

[@katherineestrada2318]

I love your videos!! what app do you use to edit them?

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thank you! I use a program called Corel. Here's a link to it amzn.to/2pXFHFy

[@UncleJody]

How do I send you pictures of my finished project? I made a whole bunch!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Awesome! You can share them on instagram with #WhitneySews or share on my Whitney Sews facebook page :)

[@cathydeutsch1363]

Or.....you could just buy some washcloths.

[@Whitney_Sews]

I already have the fabric and love to sew...plus they're cuter for my toddler. So why go spend money when I have things on hand that work perfectly.

[@thatgirlthatsme]

@@Whitney_Sews I totally agree! Those that have money to burn can keep on buying them.
