Old cotton towels and clothes given a new lease of life. I made a tonne of these for charity fetes and fayres, and every pack was sold, with requests for more. I asked people who wanted more to donate their towels and fabric to me to sew them, and I ran more up for a nominal fee which went to charity.

Nice sewing, when I make mine, I iron the materiel to mark the lines for cutting which saves me time and of course always wash and dry material before sewing starts.and I've used my sreger for the stitching. I also make small cloth napkins so I am not buying paper napkins for my personal daily use of napkins.
