UPDATED VINTAGE TEA TOWELS


While yard sale-ing last fall, I came across some unique retro dish towels that still had some life in them.  I decided to update them so they could continue hanging out in the kitchen as they had for many years.   I got the idea for making these from a similar towel my mom gave me.  She used a new towel and pot holder to make hers but I liked the idea of repurposing old towels because I find the colors and patterns so interesting.

  I did purchase some new potholders, then used vintage buttons and assorted vintage trim to bring them back to life.  I love the fact that they fasten around the bar on the oven door making them accessible without falling on the floor.  I gifted the first few I made - these are my latest.  I'd like to make more since I'll be listing them in my etsy shop, but I'm running out of towels.  Yikes - you know what that means......gotta hit the rummage sales and score some more.
