What do we most often do with an old terry towel? We let him go to waste. It absorbs moisture well, wipes away dust, and wipes away dirt perfectly. In general, this is what you need for cleaning.
However, you can sew a bunch of useful things from an old towel - these are rugs, washcloths, organizers, hats to put on your head after a shower, and much more.
I needed one Soviet towel to make a 4-piece set for kitchen care.
Every day you have to wash the dishes several times. Before placing it in the closet, you need to dry it on a towel or dish drainer, otherwise an unpleasant odor and black mold will appear in the closet from the draining water.
I have a tray dryer next to the sink for this purpose. But water still leaks under the tray and collects around the sink.
I will sew special rugs that will help collect all the splashes and drops.
First, I cut a rectangle for the dryer mat.
Then a strip for the sink where the faucet is located. From the rest I cut out two napkins for rubbing household appliances and wiping down cabinets.
- Mat for the tap.
She cut us round holes for the tap.
I used baize for the lining.
I connected both parts with the right sides facing inward and stitched on all sides, leaving room for turning.
Then I turned it inside out, straightened all the corners and stitched along the edge, retreating 0.5 cm.
- Mat under the dryer.
Since the cut towel was barely enough, I cut out a larger size for the lining from the flannel.
Then I folded the edges twice over the towel. This added centimeters in size.
The glass surfaces of microwaves, ovens, and hoods have to be constantly rubbed.
Any stain spoils the entire appearance. To do this, I sewed a double napkin with a handle.
I rounded the corners on the fabric, then sewed a strip for the arm. I applied it to one part and placed the second on top. I stitched in a circle, then turned it inside out and topstitched it.
- Well, and a simple napkin for wiping the glass on the kitchen set. I overlocked the edges with an overlocker.
It's all in.
Take your time using an old towel as a floor rag. It can be adapted for cleaning, but for other purposes.
All the best!
