"Pretty easy for a newbie like me! Mine turned out a little tubbier, and I chose to leave out the mouth because I liked it better that way. My biggest complaint would be that the instructions didn't really clarify how I was meant to sew the ends together. I also personally forgot the leave a stuffing hole so that was on me."

"These are super simple and oh, sew, cute! I made them reversible so they can be turned over after Christmas and used throughout the winter."

"These are cute! I can't get to the pattern because the link takes me to a weird place http//www.howtogal.com/ So dissapointed."

"I've just discovered the same issue with this link. I wish they would at least remove the link. Very disappointed indeed ... I do love the idea of the dress though. It's given me an idea for making a dress similar to this one. I thought I'd find a simple top that I already own and am comfortable wearing, then make a band at a similar length to the top of this dress. I'll then make the skirt by gathering some fabric to the fullness I'm comfortable with, and making it the length I want, then attach the top to the skirt at the band .... I'm sure that it would be easy enough to attach the top to the waist of the skirt .... similar to this pattern. .... voila, I'll have a new dress! For those who love the pattern as much as I do, it's at least worth a try! )"

Reusable Hanging Kitchen Towels

After making these Reusable Hanging Kitchen Towels, you will never be able to use another store-bought dish cloth again. These zero-waste dish towels are easy to make and to use.

These towels are great for families with small children because you can hang them anywhere in your kitchen so they are easily accessible for kitchen spills.

This tutorial will teach you how to make towels that are cotton on one side and towel fabric on the other so you can use them for many cleaning purposes. The best part about these towels is that you can make them with any fun, colorful scraps you have lying around.

I remember when you could purchase terry towel material by the yard. When I saw this project idea I thought of that and wondered until I read the post, where will the "towel" material come from. This is a great project to use up some towels that are worn, but I would purchase new ones if I were planning to use these as dish towels. For spills and such, this is a great project idea.

You can still buy terrycloth by the yard.

I look at several of these patterns and think, "why didn't I think of that?" Well I didn't and I am so glad someone did. Paper towels are getting so expensive and this is a great idea. I am not working right now so I have to use the time wisely to put together projects such as this. It will pay off in the long run. I have plenty of cotton, just need the towel material but there is a great fabric store near me. Thank you for the pattern.

It is often we learn from others and until I saw this post I just did not think about making my own kitchen towels. The fact that I can hang these is an added bonus. This will be my next weekend project as I love to keep a clean towel in the kitchen.

Fabulous project idea. I seriously do not believe that there is a more useful project out there. And such a great way to use up scraps of fabric. These would be great in any kitchen even without kids. I know that I don't like wasting paper towels, and I prefer to use cloth. But I also prefer to change those towels often. Otherwise, they get, well, ew! Have these been made using other toweling fabric?
