Hand towels are a practical and essential item in any home. They help us keep our hands clean and dry, and they add a touch of style to our bathrooms and kitchens. If you are looking to personalize your hand towels or create a unique gift, sewing fabric onto them is a fantastic option.
Materials You Will Need
- Hand towels
- Fabric of your choice
- Thread in a matching color
- Scissors
- Sewing machine or needle for hand-sewing
- Pins
- Iron and ironing board
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare your hand towel by ironing it to remove any wrinkles.
- Select the fabric you want to sew onto the towel. It can be a pretty pattern or a fabric scrap you’ve been wanting to repurpose.
- Cut the fabric into your desired shape. It could be a square, rectangle, or even a fun shape like a heart or a star.
- Place the fabric on the hand towel in your desired position. Secure it temporarily with pins so it stays in place while sewing.
- If you are using a sewing machine, set it up with a thread color that matches the fabric. If you prefer hand-sewing, thread your needle with the matching thread.
- Sew around the edges of the fabric, either with your sewing machine or by hand. Use a straight stitch or a decorative one for added flair.
- Remove the pins and trim any loose threads.
- Give your newly embellished hand towel a final press with the iron, ensuring that the fabric is smoothly attached.
And voila! You have successfully sewn fabric onto your hand towel. Repeat the steps for as many hand towels as you desire, experimenting with different fabrics and designs.
