I really love this ruffled towel- it is sweet and simple! I think my favorite part is the fabric- you can't see it that well in the pictures but it has glitter in it!
I have seen these all over the place and it is pretty basic sewing but just in case you wanted to know-
Here is how I did it:
Ingredients:
Huck Towel
Fabric (enough to make a 2 3/4" X 48" strip)
Sewing Machine
Thread
Pins
Cut your strip of fabric 2 3/4" X twice as long as the towel you want to put it on. My towel was 24" wide- so my fabric was 48" wide.
Sew into a long tube and turn inside out. Iron so that seam is on the middle of the backside.
Fold in both ends and topstitch all the way around the strip of fabric.
Set your stitch length on the highest it will go (mine goes to 5) and sew lengthwise down the middle of the strip for a basting stitch.
Pull on the thread and make the fabric ruffle until it is the same length as the width of your towel.
Pin in place and sew down the middle (make sure and set your stitch length back to normal ~2.2)
Linking up with some of these great parties!!
