Place Mats, Part Deux
Last year I made some dish towel place mats. I really loved them. And still do. I had forgotten how much I loved them until I pulled them out this year for some outdoor dining. It was then that I decided that eight was just not enough. Kids are messy. The place mats last one meal, and that's if we are lucky.
I pulled out the remaining stash of my Martha Stewart dish towel collection and got to work. They are really so simple. Just take a dish towel, cut in half, and sew a double-rolled hem along the raw edge. In no time at all I added 14 to my pile.
Now if the weather would only cooperate and stop raining every day, and then not be so stinking hot and humid already (it is only June, after all) we might be able to put them and some of this stuff to serious use.

I have never bought the MS dish towels because I could never think of what to do with them.
What a super idea!
Well done with the plant. I have a stephanotisd in the kitchen growing in an arc like that. I just keep winding it round when it grows.
Brill idea with the tea towel re-use. I love the ideas you come up with.
(I wish I had a stash of dishtowels like that.)
Just wondering....:)
Have you ever seen the little bags made out of a placemat? They are adorable. Spencer would love them!
